Hi guys My SR uses about 100 mls of oil for every 100km I ride I havent seen any smoke and dosent smoke if iI idle it for a few minuits , There is not much oil on the outside of the engine no leaks so I guess it must be burning it is this a problem or maybe normal the bike has done about 80,000 km and i dont think its had any internal work except normal services timeing chain etc . The bike runs extremly well starts easy and has no bad vices so I dont realy want to try to fix anything that isnt realy broke! so if you guys think this is normal it will make me happy Thanks guys

Having done 80.000 km, it sounds quite normal.
New piston rings, cylinder honed, and new vavle seals, will probably be enough to fix it.
However, as long as you don't mind topping up the oil, and there are no other problems, I would leave it alone for another 5-10.000 km.
