It seems i'm burning oil.

Did an oil refill around 10 weeks ago and noticed recently my bike has been very sluggish and clunky.

So i emptied the current oil and replaced it with another load. After taking the old oil out i measured how much there was and 250ml was it. I remember clearly i had put 0.9 litres in on it's previous refill.

What could be causing this and is it a huge issue?

What does your spark plug look like.. pop it out.
If its coated in black shit, you are burning it.

I know for sure it's burning as 750ml of oil cannot vanish in 10 weeks.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Just check under my engine, no sign at all of oil, marks or anything of the sort.

So no leak but burning oil Confused Really haven't a clue what it could be

Get a quick compression test done... might just need to replace the rings?
Check the plug either way Laughing
