Default 2004 kfx 400

I have a kfx 400 that is losing antifreeze after a short ride. While idling it don't smoke, but when you Rev it while idling it will blow out white smoke not alot but the first Rev is quite a bit.then after it blows out smoke and you Rev it alot more it stops but if you let it sit there for another couple of minutes and Rev it it will blow out white smoke again. It don't completely lose antifreeze but it lowers in the radiator. Any suggestions?

Well,.it sure sounds like you are leaking antifreeze into the combustion chamber. Time to check compression. How does your oil look?

Oil looks great. Brand new oil and it's not milky or discolored. It's all in the upper end.
