Smoking Lifan GY5

Well, I have had much enjoyment w/ my Lifan, and have put almost 2000 miles on it since purchased almost a year ago. Last December, I dumped the bike in a waterhole roughly 15 inchess deep, took 20 - 30 minutes before I could get it restarted, and then drove the 2-3 miles back to the hunt club.

The oil looked a tad milky so I changed it right away, and thought all was fine. Bike still runs well, but I have noticed that more often than not, I get a bit of smoke out the tailpipe for the first couple minutes of warm up.

Not sure if the waterhole incident is related? What would cause a bike like this to smoke a bit during warm up? Thanks in advance for any help! I think I have Rotella 14-40 oil in it...might have also topped up w/ 20-50? Thanks!

Mike
