Default 2001 500 Sportsman problem.

My 2001 sportsman has been a good bike for me until I changed the oil, and now it smokes like crazy ( blue smoke ). I used OEM filter and oil. I admit it hadnt been changed in awhile. Can anyone suggest what has happened and how to fix it ?

blue smoke is oil burning.... is there that primer on that year to prime the oil after you change?? im not sure i have a 99 but i know on some year you have to prime the oil line after you change it... hope you didnt burn up a valve or somthing
