Valve adjustment is not going to help.  Is there a lot of blue smoke coming out the exaust? 

Only thing I can think of other than blown head gasket is maybe somebody way overfilled the crankcase with oil?

Maybe rings or valve seals? Waranty, let them sort it, spend your money after the warranty is gone.

...generally, if it would smoke when first started, then not after..the valve seals are not right..

..when those seals fail, oil leaks down into the cylinder after the engine is stopped...

..it sits atop the piston, then when it's started the next time, all that collected oil burns off....

..wouldn't take very much of a faulty seal to cause this initial smoke...and it wouldn't take a lot of oil either...

yea its stupid because he had it shippedit was 90%assembled he put the rest together since he isnt a certifed mechanic warranty is void

i thing im just going to to redo the whole top end piston rings jug and head just to be safe

and i have no idea who makes it this thing is crap its falling apart already i could understand one thing broken it happens when u mass produce something

i do not recommend this scoot at all

however after riding it i def want a 150 motor in my a50

  Sad but true. If going for a new top look for big bore kit :o Most are clones of the gy6,but I know nothing about that one  :-\
  Yep after all the work i did on my 50's. Than jumping on a 150 they are hard to compare. The 150 framed bikes are more comfertable and have better shocks,but it still isn't fast enouph  ;)  My 50 2t could keep up with it  ::) It never ends  ;D
