Any news about your bikes oil consumption Jeroen?

I have experienced oil consumption issues on my Ten lately as well.

Bike is 2011 and now has 133 k kms on the clock. In reality a little less since I have been riding with different rear size sprockets for most of the bikes life, but still approx 125 k kms in real distance. So it have done quite some distance.

Earlier on it used a tiny amount of oil, maybe a top up or two of 3-400 ml pr 10 000 km. Second last distance I noticed a bit more oil usage as it used approx 1,2-1,4 litres pr 10000 kms. Last oil change it was used 15/50 in stead of the usual 10/40 oil and now it has burnt approx 2 litres of oil for approx 8000 kms.

I thought going from 10/40 to 15/50 should help reduce oil burnin but there might be other reasons to the oil consume?

The oil used last time was Shell RX7 semi syntetic 15/50. And mostly before that I have used full synthetic - dont know if that could have somehing to say?

Anyhow - its almost time for an oil change now, which brand and which oil do you guys recommend to see if I can cure the problem a bit at least?

It doesnt smoke, only when starting it up when in really could climate like near 0 degrees, when it smokes a little before the engine gets warm.

I guess if a different oil doesnt cure a bit of the oil consume it might be time for a top end rebuild. Any opinions about this guys?
