    white smoke

    Does anyones 400EX ever smoke a little(white smoke) when they first start it and rev it? Mine has no spark arrester if this matters and had a trinity complete exuast. I doesent feel like it needs to be rebuilt.

    white "smoke" is water vapor. since the engine is air cooled, the water must be coming from the air, just like you breath when it's cold. don't worry about it.

    oil= blue smoke
    fuel= black smoke

    if it was from oil, it would be blue.
