2000 Venture 500 - SMOKER

We have a 2000 Yamaha Venture 500 with only 2800 miles on it. It runs great, but burns oil like crazy. It's such a bad smoker that almost no one will ride behind me. A mechanic checked it out and said everything appears to be OK, but admitted he isn't an expert when it comes to this issue. My wife has a 2000 Yamaha Venture XL (fan cooled 485) and hers burns 1/3 of the oil mine does. Any ideas?

Thanks for the response. Yes, it runs and idles just fine. I thought about asking the mechanic to adjust the pump but he wasn't comfortable with his knowledge of the settings. He too suggested a trial and error but we both felt uncomfortable with that idea. I'll try the Amsoil for starters.
