Default smoke coming out of hypercharge

This morning i do what i always do pull the choke while i put my helmet on. It took alittle longer this morning i was fumbling around trying to get my stuff together got on the bike pushed the choke back in it kinda sputtered like it wasnt warmed up and died! then white smoke poured out of the hypercharge for a while and alot of it. I cranked it back up "after i figured the damn thing wasnt about to explode" and drove it to work 5miles. Got here no smoke or anything.&nbsp\\; Any suggestions on what happen??

just the exhaust excaping from the intake side. I'm guessing it caughed just as it died. Nothing to worry about. Harleys do that. Try not useing the choke to warm it up, use the throttle, if your scoot is carbed, you'll have a screw under the throttle. open the throttle till it runs and lock the throttle. ( with the choke off ) Only use the choke to start it.

I got an S&amp\\;S on my bike, and yeah it does it more often when you've got a bigger carb than stock. Like Zim said, nothin to worry aboot and do try to keep the choke on for as less time as possible.
