i started the phazer up today ,suddenly it began to smoke really bad from exhaust stinky oil like smoke ,and then it came smoke out under the engine or under the exhaust manifoil...what can it be? just a leak?or is it F***`d? i nee help with this ... :(
 
Check out everything oil and see if there is a leak from the MCX stuff or yamaha oiling system and make sure its solid. You may need to starting tearing it down a little just to see things better and help isolate it. If your worried about the engine there are tests for that but I think if it was fine when you put it away and this just happend on start up chances are its a leak leaking on hot exhaust parts, or the turbo seals or something.
 
both mine and my buddy's return oil pump sh!t the bed this year..
white smoke poured out the exhaust like a steam engine.

check your charge tube, if it has oil in it good chance it is the return pump
eventually works its way thru the intercooler and back into the motor...
 
Check the crank vent, if it's blocked off the engine will push oil passed the rings and out the exhaust smoking like a steam train.
 
If you have a mcx kit on there it can be from you over filling your oil tank or having the sled on it's side or you just might have a little moisture in your oil/line and just that would and will make it so your oil tank fills up and then your sled starts to burn it off while puking it out your exhaust pipe untill your sled warms up and melts the little spec of moisture away in one of your oil lines.

If you want to melt frozen moisture out from a oil line just ride sled for about 45 sec after the red light goes off and then let it sit for 10 min or so and then repeat 3 times or so.

I'm guessing this is not your problem but it easily could be depending on the temp.

Make since? If not pm me.

Usually white smoke is a sign of COOLANT LEAKING in CYLINDER(S) by head gasket or a CRACKED cylinder head!

Do a COOLANT pressure test...is your coolant level getting low...
 
Good point, could be that as well :-)
