The '01 YZ 426F has been burning a lot of oil as of lately - and I was wondering if this is normal or if there is a problem?
A few weeks ago - it took a whole quart of oil. After 2 MX races (approx. 1-1.5 hours on the bike in the 70-90 degree weather) it took another 1/4 to 1/3 quart of oil.
We are thinking that maybe a ring is broken or shifted out of place? Not really sure - 4-strokes are pretty new to us. Anyone else have any suggestions of what the problem might be - or is this normal when the weather gets hotter??
The bike is completely stock with about 30-40 hours on it.
