Hi, I am brand new to snowmobiling and two strokes in general. This summer I purchased a 2000 Sxr 700. The guy started it for me when I bought it and it ran well with no smoke at all. Jump forward a few months. I just started the sled yesterday, it starts right up no problem but white smoke just pours out. I read a little about this and thought it might be from sitting for so long but I want to be careful not to damage anything. Also the oil light on the insturment cluster is on. The is plenty of oil in the oil reservoir. How long should I let it warm up, should I ride it for awhile and see if it clears up?

Itl smoke excessively until warmed up. Cheaper non synthetic oil will smoke more aswell.
If it is a real white smoke with a sweet smell it could be a headgasket leak. Thats worse case scenario and probably isn't your problem though.

Thanks for the reply. Ive been trying to get all the info I can and Ive read a lot about the oil pump cable and adjusting that. Since I have no idea what has been done to this sled I am going to check that to make sure its adjusted properly. I believe the previous owner put a handle bar riser on.

Mine smokes like a train for the first 5min Yama oil seems to make it better
make sure oil cable housing is back in it's socket (if it has one).
Another thing that happens if left set a while is that the gas in the bowls, etc. evaporates, but the oil doesn't which causes a very heavy oil mixture until it clears it out.
