Dose anyone know how much oil my 1998 XCR 600 triple triple should be consuming? Right now I fill the oil resivore and get 1 tank of gas (about 90-100 miles depending on how I'm riding) before i need to fill up on oil again. To me this seems excessive, or is this normal for a triple??
The machine seems to smoke a lot even after warm up. The other day i was ridding and it seemed as though i was only running on 2 cylinders. My acceleration was very poor and top speed seemed to be about 60 MPH. I got on a long straight stretch and was able to crack it open enough to where all cylinders were firing again and i got my power back. I stayed heavy on the throttle until I got home and checked the plugs and there was some dry carbon fouling on 2 of the 3 plugs. There was black oil on the tops of the spark plug holes, and I could also see carbon on the tops of the pistons.
I am heading on a trip to nothern Wisc/MI soon and dont want this to be happening on the trail. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
