My 2008 XTZ has 61000kms on it and I ride a mix of 130 kph autoroutes and normal roads to include mountain twisties.

Mine will now use about half a litre oil aprrox. every 4000kms. It takes me just half a litre to fill from low dipstick to high,if memory serves me correctly.

Bear in mind theres probably half of this coming out my air filter drain hose as I use this to fill my chain oiler from a little bottle I carry with me.

All this to say with a single cylinder engine...cruising at 5000rpm all day..you'd have to expect some oil use especially with upwards of 60K IMO.

Whenever I start to see blue smoke out of the exhaust then thats an early sign to do something about it.
