I was finally able to stop scratching my head, trying to figure out why my bike would not fire.

Turned out to be that after all my double checking, I should have been more delicate when re-attaching hoses. A small separation in the walls of my main petcock to carb hose collapsed inside the hose..blockage+starter button=no ignition (in my case)

After cleaning up the hose issue my bike successfully fired. I warmed it up with the choke out and then reset the choke when it was warm. I had the bike idle for about 2 minutes and then noticed smoke.

The smoke was slightly exiting through the motor/exhaust header, slightly through the stock pipe and a little blowback into the air filter.

Smoke was white..if anything a light light grayish white

Im not sure if in my attempt to clean up the carb that maybe the air/fuel mixture screw is out of adjustment or if my idle screw has any bit to do with the smoke.

Fuel/Air screw is backed out 2 full turns from being all the way seated.

Bike also started to smell like it was running hot after just idling that short time..I checked the sight glass and the new oil I had put in with under 5 miles is rather dark.

Back to scratching for now.

I wish I could have some of that wisdom you all have.

I did recently remove the OEM petcock for the Raptor conversion. That was after the oil change.

Making me now wish I had done it the other way around.

I will check the oil cap and see what I have.

Thanks friend.

could be residue from the oil change.

Mine smokes for the first little bit when I first start it on cold mornings.  I can see whitish smoke drifting in front of the headlight.  Stops after a bit.  It was about 30 degrees this morning and smoked when started.  I get a stronger exhaust smell when this happens, too.

drain the airbox too.
should be done every oil change.

The smoke that you saw escaping from everywhere was actually steamed gasoline. Gasoline has a low boiling point, much lower than oil, and once it gets hot enough it escapes from everywhere it can. Since it's mixed and cooled by the oil, there is no chance of it reaching its flash point.
