Default Flipped my KFX, now it's smoking..?

So I flipped my quad (see here YouTube - Kfx Wipeout). I noticed it started smoking the next day. I've since changed the oil, drained the carbs and cleaned the crap out of the airbox (and changed the filter), but it's still smoking white. Any suggestions?

White smoke indicated moisture....are you losing any coolant?

You have oil in your top end from your flip , keep riding it , it'll be O.K.

Worst case scenario is its gonna need new rings but I would deff ride it a while longer and see if it dont clear up and change the oil a time or two more to get any residual water out of it!!

see if you got oil in the airbox from where it was upside down. If you do then its pulling it through carb and burning it........Either way it should stop on its own
