Consumer Description

BURNING LARGE AMOUNTS OR OIL. DEFINITELY SEEING SOOT/SMOKE COMING OUT THE EXHAUST HAVE HAD THE OIL LIGHT COME ON DURING USAGE AND WHEN CHECKING DIPSTICK NOTICED THAT OIL WAS VERY LOW, ABOUT 1 QUART LOW. HAVE ALREADY TALKED TO HONDA DEALERS CLAIMING ONE QUART OF OIL BURNT PER 1000 MILES IS NORMAL, BUT I'M EXCEEDING THOSE GUIDELINES. I'VE ALSO HAD MULTIPLE MOTORCYCLE DEALERS LOOK AT MOTORCYCLE AND THEY'VE VALIDATED THAT THE ENGINE IS BURNING LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL JUST FROM LOOKING AT THE OIL SOOT/ASH IN THE EXHAUST. THEY'VE SPECULATED TO ME THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PISTON RINGS OR VALVE SEALS BUT COULD NOT MAKE THAT DETERMINATION WITHOUT TEARING DOWN THE ISSUE WHICH WOULD COME AT SUBSTANTIAL COST. *TR
