....I have a Mule 610 2012 model. When you first start it,it just idles fine,but after it warms up and your driving it around the yard and dog it,it starts burning white smoke....afer you shut it down,and restart it,it doesn't smoke until you get on it again....???? Broken oil ring? What? this utv has only 22 hrs on it...

EDITOK air cooled sound like it could have been over filled during service or air filter got wet vent pipe from crankcase breather spitting oil into Carb. . I would check oil level and then remove air filter to run a 10 minute test.
Is this a Gas engine[?]air cooled or water cooled[?]White smoke normally equal water getting in exhaust system or leaking head gasket.
Air Cooled....it smells like oil....didn't do this until we took it to a dealer for service...
Did you or the dealer power wash it or spray it down with lots of water???
You may have a water trap filled with h2o.
At High speeds, it's sucking up moisture.
Next the crankcase vent tube. Find it and follow it back to the small canister. Remove the canister and the check to see if it is blocked or full of water. Here I have found them blocked by frozen water during the winter. Then check the tube for blockage. If the crank case vent is blocked. It ill either blow the dip stick out or the oil pass the rings once it gets hot enough and cause the engine to smoke.
2012 and only has 22 hrs on it. Running the engine for short periods and not enough to get it to full operating temp long enough can cause condensation in the crank case. The water can mix with the oil and cause smoking. Running an air cooled engine once a week 1/4 mile down to the mail box and back is not good for them especially during cold, damp or wet weather with out an oil change often.
take Out the Plug Maybe pressure Wash person loaded the Tail Pipe
White Is Usually Water
