Say it's not so!
 
My 2004 Twister is blowing smoke like i'm the mosquito guy.
I am pretty vigilant about changing the oil and it has low miles.
Although, I run peddle to the metal 90% of the time.

Thing is, it'll stop smoking after I run it for a while, not as much smoke but still some.
Does this mean a bad seal is causing oil sepage during down time and it burns off while running it?
Or am I wishing and its really burnt piston rings?

.

4 stroke engine and majority of smokes when cold??? Could be worn valve stems or improperly set valve seats. Could be work out rings / cylinder walls as well. But for some reason, blowing smoke on cold engine sounds like valves to me.

May need to take your engnine to a small engine place to confirm. If you pull the engine and deliver it to your local "experienced" small engine place, they should be able to confirm the valves &or rings are ok. And, they aren't too burnt or worn out. If easy to access its engine, deliver your entire Twister unit. What ever they prefer.

Hope this helps...
