400ex question

I am wondering if it is common for the 400ex's to smoke a little bit, as stated in this ad:

2003 400EX GREAT CONDITION

it seems like a decent price but i dont want to get an engine thats starting to go to hell...

It could be a number of things, oil rings, valve steam seals ect. I have a 2000 400EX and it doesnt use oil.

You know I dont see allot of smoke, but people that ride behind me say they smell smoke real bad. I have a 2006 and I am starting to think I might need a ring job.

I have a 400ex and ride it pretty hard and it doesnt smoke at all or burn any oil. Like Mud said it might be rings, but then again could be more serious.
