So i changed my oil about a month ago and i checked it last week and the dipstick was DRY. I ended up adding a quart of oil to get it backup on the level part on the dipstick and now i just looked at it today and it is dry again. I am wondering why or what do i do to figure out why i burn almost a quart of oil every few weeks. After initial checking over i couldn't find any leaks. I could smell some burning... but there is no black smoke or anything. The question would be, WHAT DO I DO, or where do i look to find out whats going on.

Are you measuring the bike while its cool or hot, running or off, on the kickstand or standing up straight(like its supposed to be)

You're looking for blue smoke for oil burning... not black! Take another peek at the underside of the bike for any kind of residue...oil attracts dirt...it's gotta be going somewhere..
Good Luck!

have you looked at your coolant, or possibly coolant in the oil?

YEP Im a retard.. Make sure to check your oil when your bike is NOT leaning on a kickstand, but check it when its on the stands (equal level). Had to rechange the oil cause i put too much in. Otherwise its all good.
