My 21' rmax with 1800miles has had an issue with a power lag and blowing oil smoke out of one of the vents, not the exhaust. If I floor it it lags or falls on its face and rolls or puffs oil smoke. Oil level is good and its serviced. It did this twice when I first got it and now its doing it all the time. Could it be a fouled plug, bad injector? It starts, runs and drives normal until its 3/4 or full throttle and under load, never submerged. Doesn't feel like its slipping a clutch/belt. But it loses half alot of power. Im not bringing it to the dealer just yet.
I am guessing it maybe well over filled with oil. Many have overfilled theirs trying to figure it out. However, yours seem to be significantly different. Check in the oily Air filter chamber at the bottom if there is oil there. Also oil filter isn't saturated with engine oil. Filter oil normally has a dye colour.
A simple start. Others with the machine likely have different idea. Nothing better them in front hands on to assess an issue.

Air filter, not oil filter as previous post stated
wow to the image Massive posted. If that was due to assemble on delivery or dealer released like that. It should be warranty. Right?
Clamps should be all tight and I'd say that wasn't.
I had the air intake pop off the airbox on my RMAX XTR 4 this summer like the picture above. Luckily it we caught it when we were unloading it from trailer. I think it popped off during transport on a trip. The top hose clamp was loose. Put it back on and tightened it up and no issues a 1000 miles later, knock on wood. Got lucky since we rode in wet conditions that day. I would definitely check to be sure the hose clamps are tight. It just requires a longer flat head screw driver to tighten
Glad it was brought up anyway. Going to check mine before the next use. Checked all mine inside under the seat when I had it apart to adjust the park brake. Didn’t think or consider a band under the filter housing. We had a duster diesel in a backhoe once from a bad Wix air filter years ago so I’m ultra cognizant on keeping a good seal, often checking clamps.
If I'm honest, I went out there and checked all those connections, but, I did that on delivery. I always go through and check torque on everything...I don't trust their paint checkoffs. Even the marker-guy can be a lazy SOB.
We even have a thread about hings to check when getting a new machine that goes over the clamps and much more. However, I think most go to Farcebook before realizing they should have come to the forums first.

Greetings, I’m new to the forum. I have been a Rhino owner since 2005, 15 trouble free years of regular use until I neglected it and let the oil get low. Now it’s burning oil and can’t be counted on, so it’s headed to the barn for a rest and possible rebuild over the winter. But onto the new...
So hopefully I will be getting the call soon that the new machine is being delivered. I have been following every thread and I thought it might be helpful to have one place where everyone can chime in on what they would recommend the new owner do/look for, after receiving their ride. I have...
Thanks InfidelMT for doing this video, showing the test: I've heard of only a handful of new Yamaha SxS that didn't have the engine air intake ducting properly installed or the clear drain check hose installed. The results were that one engine ingested water and hydro-locked and the other...
