This is a new machine, no? Take it to the dealer for warranty. The 500 HO engine is a 4 stroke so should not be smoking. Like I said it's time to visit the dealer.

i wonder if this is a real problem.
look what scramberX said....

What is updog?

now look at like this

What's up dawg? <-Slang expression

Sounds like a joke. He put a little too much emphasis on "updog"
Maybe im just reading too much into it. haha

My Sportsman really worried me when I first bought it.When my H.O. was brand new it took a little while to burn the new off it. It smelled funny and smoked a little, engine started pecking after warm up.. The engine has always made noise (rattling sounds)seems to be the nature of the 500 H.O.I now have 1700 miles on it and it still makes rattling sounds.I noticed when I rev the engine some of the rattle is coming from where the header pipe springs hold header to the head.Probably isn't nothing but I'd take it back to dealer just to be safe.

My guess is he is joking also, but when I seen that a couple of people had replied without asking, I figured maybe it really meant something. Pretty funny.
