Oil Burning Problem

[onepoint-gsr]

My teg is burning oil, is this a common problem with teg's? What usually causes this?

Honda's in general tend to burn off more oil that the average car, because they're so high strung. High rpm's burns oil faster than lower rpm's. It was typical, when I changed the oil in my GSR, for only 2 1/4-2 1/2 quarts to drain out. That's after regular 3K miles oil change intervals on a 100K+ engine.

If Ive been getting on it alot driving it hard then I probably have to get about a quart and a half every two weeks. Is this something I should look to get fixed or is normal. its a 1995 GSR

tis' normal i just checked mine everytime i filled up...just so it's always full

gs-r with high miles tend to burn oil from the valve seals

I don't think that's normal. 1 1/2 qts every 2 weeks seems to be alot to me, even after hard driving. How many miles on the engine? Is your exhaust smoke normal color and smell?

About 140,000 miles on motor. It runs rich and when it smokes its a blue kinda color. Appreciate the help

Blue means its burning oil not good, yup valve seals

Get some new valve seals and also get the valves adjusted especially if they've never been down sounds like valve blow by also could be wrong though
