Re: Oil consumption Queston

Al,  As you have seen from the previous replies, you are in the main 
stream with your oil consumption.  Run the motor and when you get some 
more miles, the oil burning will stop.  My bike stopped burning oil 
last year at around 30k miles.  I attribute that to starting on 
synthetic oil too soon.
