Could be your valve seals as well. Its quite easy and cheap to change them
before
opening the engine totally. What about your compression rate?(kompression ?)
Better keep pouring oil - it might be the cheapest alternative.
btw. I rode my old XT 6000kms pouring 1/2 l per 100km due to a spoiled valve
shaft.
So who cares?

Betreff: (XRV) Oil consumption
Hey folks
Recently I measured an increased (and if I say increased I mean it)
oil consmption of my RD 03 I almost have to fill 1/2 liter every
350-400 km.
I guess it is too much. My question is:
Does a higher oil consumption necessarily mean that there is something
wrong with the pistonrings or what else could it be. If it are the
Pistonrings I could as well just get a new used engine somewhere I
guess. But what doesn´t fit to this almost apocalyptic view of a new
engine is that there are no blue fumes whatsoever when driving
normally. (accelerating like a normal road user) Only when I really
crank it up and and go like crazy, I was told to have blue fumes,(not
exactly me myself but my bike) well what`s normal, what`s not?
Any hint will be appreciated
God bless
Christoph
