Excessive oil consumption

Post by mymitzi »

The PCX is using a lot more oil now. Wasn't a sudden thing....just got worse, over time. Scooter still runs great, other than that.
Anyone else have this issue? It has always used oil since I got it [used]with about 2100 miles on it. Back then it would need adding
oil every 1500 miles or so. Intervals got more frequent Now it's closer to 3-400 miles.[3-4 ounces]. No leaks and no obvious smoke.
So, where is the oil going? Might need rings,,,,,,maybe more?? Running very well......so, not in any hurry. Thanks for your thoughts.

If you are getting blow by (Which you should not be getting on a bike with that little miles), You can try a Catch can that goes where the dip stick goes. Lease that crank case pressure.

I forgot to ask how many miles..... Yeah you need a rebuild. :lol: Try running thicker oil for a temporary fix.
