    Tilt the engine up a little bit before you shut down. That will let the oil in the cylinders gravity feed back into the crankcase and not sit against the oil control ring.

    Check your oil level. My 2018 250 started to smoke on start ups at around 100hrs. It had started making oil again. Had power head replaced under warranty.

    My 2016 was perfect until it smoked on startup.
    Check the underside of the oil fill cap. If it's milky, I hope you purchased the extended warranty.
