99' gs burning oil...

karneck · March 01, 2004, 03:10:56 PM

my 99 stock gs is burning a LOT of oil...something like lets see...1 lt. of oil each 50 miles...heh...
here in Brazil, we call the service to be made of: "make the engine" like "oh, now we're gonna have to make the engine in your gs" heheh...
oh god...1 week on foot now

The only fear that I'm having now is that my bike was abused before I got my hands on it. She has 70.000km. With a problem of this magnitude? Oh well...

Well, this may be a stupidquestion, but did you check for oil leaks? The oil filter cap is amidst the engine block and could probably have the bolts vibrate loose and cause a leak. I know you have a rather high mileage bike, and it could be a compression leak or something, but as my dad always told me, "Keep It Simple, Stupid" Good luck trying to fix it

that is a LOT of km/mi on it does it smell like burning oil, or does it smoke or both? :dunno:

At 1 liter per 50 miles I don't see anyway it wouldn't be smoking like mad unless its just dumping it on the ground. Thats about a quart of oil per gallon of gas. Even by 2-stroke standards, thats ALOT of oil.

I would guess the thing would probably run, but you would get less smoke if you lit the tires on fire.

sorry all i missed the replys in this topic...well the important thing: i solved the problem. I think i exagerated i litle bit in the description, but it was sure smokin A LOT and smelling oil YES for SURE.
i caNt describe to u what was made exactly, but internal parts of the cylinders were fixed/changed to solve the problem. :/
