I know thats a common isue if you flip a atv over...the upper end of the motor gets way too muchoil, and it finds it way where it shouldnt be. Keep an eye on the oil level, and make sure it doesnt get too low. Run it for awhile, and the smoking should gradually disappear.

Your whole airbox might be soaked with oil also.
