Default Won't start

Went out today, to fire her up and take a ride, I do my normal routine, she fires then immediately dies, and a puff of white smoke comes from right side of bike. I tried to start a few more times, she just cranks. Rolled her back in garage pulled the seat, checked battery connects all good, pull the fuses all ok, put her on the charger. Any ideas, 07 ultra 124 ci (Kendall Johnson) .

What do the plugs look like? Wet?

Check to see if plugs are firing.
