Sounds like it overheated. White smoke can be oil but, with it not starting sounds like coolant and it overheated. Take it to a repair facility for confirmation.

SOURCE: I have a '99 FZS Fazer 600, and it won't start.

i had same problem turned out to be electrical issue check all your wiring connections under the seat and under your fuel tank and if there all fine try checking that your fuel pump motor is running mine wasnt because of damp on my wiring connectors. when you turn on the ignition the bike should click a few times and your fuel pump should come on look under your tank looks like this with 2 tubes running from your fuel tank http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/yamaha-fzs-600-fazer-00-fuel-pump_W0QQitemZ250559832283QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&rvr_id=&cguid=6d2769071260a0e2048322d3fffcee00
this needs to be running or you will be riding the bike on gravity fed fuel and as soon as you open the bike up you will not get enough to the engine and will cut out hope this helps

SOURCE: yamaha mto3 sitting for 3 monts outside, battery

try cleaning the carb completely off the bike, make sure you take the jets out and clean them well.

They are probably gummed up....gas does not last long after 30 days anymore before it begins to varnish and clog parts.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

SOURCE: my 2002 r6 will shut off while riding? please help.

Start by checking your right hand switch (kill switch) and make sure that it works ok.
Put it in "run" position,start the engine and try to move it sideways without pressing it to "off" position.If necessary remove it and check inside for rust or moisture signs.

SOURCE: My 2004 Yamaha Royal Start Venture will not start.

1st check the fuse(s) including the main fuse on the starter solenoid.
Then check battery connections are tight.
If OK then check wiring & connections from battery to starter solenoid to ignition switch, but with no meter it will have to be a visual check for bad connections or squashed wires

Hope this helps (if so please mark as very helpful)

Yamaha R6 throttle rotates but does not create response

okay, you have a common issue of an angry bike. generally when storing a bike for even 30 days without use, you have to drain all the fluids then refill when about to be used.

The reason why you have white smoke is that your oil's viscosity has expired and the oil now is much like water, easy to burn and no engine protection. DO NOT try to turn the bike on, this will damage your pistons, block and the piston rings. have the oil drained, filled and warm the bike up on idle for 30 min, drain again then filled up again.

the throttle issue is your EFI not wanting you to inflict more damage to the engine. have this worked on by a professional as they have to have this system calibrated again.

Pop noise with thick white smoke from front end,

sounds like you might have a cracked cylinder and oil puddled up inside over night and when you started it..it blew out through the exhaust. White smoke means oil...black smoke means gas ,and blue smoke means both..if you cracked a water jacket your oil will look like a bubbly milk shake.....take a look at your oil.
