Default Question about white smoke

I have a 2007 reacon es, that is blowing white smoke out the exhaust, I replaced the piston and rings several months ago and had the jug bored out. It fixed the problem but last sunday it started smoking again while out riding, I changed the oil today and it didn't help, any advice?

Did you ever figure this out? That's strange, white smoke typically indicates coolant/water in the combustion chamber...but that's an air-cooled motor isn't it? Could you have had water in the airbox by chance?

White smoke is normal i have a 03 honda rancher 350 and it does that too when it's cold after it runs for awhile its gone just bascially you have water in the pipe or chamber

could be rings again
i just bought a 01 rancher that had the rings redone and was smoking bad.
waiting on parts to do it again.
any water to the fragile oil rings at bottom of the piston can wear them out fast.
