Raptor smoking
#12
Mine will blow a little smoke too. The color is black. During the cold months I have to use the choke to get it to start the let it idle for a little. I then take the choke off and let idle a little more and then rev it a few times. That is when I see my smoke. So I think mine is caused by carbing up using the choke and loading up between a few quik revs.
Does your smoke go away after warming up?

If its blue it's oil, if its dark black then it is gas. My Mojave does this also, but it goes away after a minute or so, I think that it is oil in the bottom of the airbox, and when I first start it it burns that oil. Does the crankcase breather from the Raptor go into the airbox? If so try checking that.

Well that sounds like compression to me. My dirtbike did the same thing (had to keep on the gas or else it would stall out right away). Try kicking it (if the raptors have a kick start, im new to the atvs) and if it feels like it is pretty easy then its deffinitly compression. I was unlucky and ended up needing a whole new top end. My rings cracked and shredded the piston and cylinder. If i were you I would look into it before you end up having to dish out some cash. I could be completely wrong on this, but from my experiences its the compression.
