98 mach z 800 - excessive smoke

I have a 98 mach z with 5000 miles - that smokes more than normal.

each head has measured 125 lbs
starts up and rides good
doesnt foul plugs

just has excessive smoke - that smells like burnt oil

-someone told me to check the injector adjustment marks ?

any help would be helpful

Take his advice, but substitute Car Forum for Snowmobile/ATV forums

I think the snowmobile needs to lay off the pipe if its smoking excessively!

if still smoking, try underclocking the engine, might help things run cooler, less smoke
