IMO just ride it if it's not ticking, knocking, is idling well, running well. Don't worry about a little blue smoke.

Check your oil regularly and even if it is burning some, it's a quad, run her hard until u notice a difference in the way it running.

Others will disagree and tell you all the chit that may be wrong, valves, rings, ect.

My advice may not be the best or what you want to hear but i rebuilt my Honda once because it was blowing blue.... The next time I ran it for over a year after the blue smoke until it popped. Cost me the same to rebuild bother times. Save your $ untill you need the rebuild

it seems to run great pulls hard keeps up to my buddys kx450f ,I have geared it a little higher for more bottom and took some of the top away if i put it back to stock it might have more then the bike not sure. anyway no funny sounds(knocking or ticking) no one seen any smoke when i was passing them yesterday so it was only on start up rings and valaves have been done onlly 20 hours on them so they should all be good. run it till it blows needs a oil change before it goes for a ride again checked tonight and its black .

I used to change mine every month or so or any time I ran it in deeper chit or swamped it

Just ride it. It will be fine my YFZ use to do the same with the choke ON, so does my Honda. Never had problem with them. just extra fuel burning till it warms up.
