Possibly burn off from the exhaust, assuming that the exhaust is new as well??
Check and confirm oil level. Is the fuel fresh? Besides the smoke how is the motor performing at idle, acceleration and deceleration??
I'm sure others will chime in with much more thought. Just thought I'd get you going.
Regards.

Did you do a proper break-in?
Usually 20 minutes at 2K RPM.
How did you assemple the piston/cylinders?
Lots of oil maybe?
