Rupert, my bike also became an oil burner around 30K miles. Since  
then I've learned of, tried, and am pretty impressed with a product  
called Auto-RX <http://www.auto-rx.com/>. It's made from natural  
esters to gently soften and emulsify sludge and other deposits  
throughout the engine. The gentle method is important since many  
other cleaners work too quickly and can cause large chunks of  
deposits to break off and cause damage. Auto-RX works really well to  
clean out the rings and allow them to fully seal again, reducing oil  
consumption and improving the life of your oil.

To be clear, I didn't get a chance to use it on my ST before I  
totaled it. I am, however, using it on my current (used) motorcycle  
and I just completed the treatment on my girlfriend's car to great  
effect.

Also note that it won't fix something that's damaged or worn, so if  
you're getting oil consumption from worn valve guides or cylinder  
linings Auto-RX won't completely solve the problem. But, if your  
engine's just gotten a little grungy over the miles and needs a good  
cleaning, an Auto-RX treatment is a good way to do that.

(Note that there's a sister product called Cycle-RX, targeted at  
motorcycles, but the only thing that's different between them is the  
label.)

Oh, and no, I'm not affiliated in any way with the product or company  
other than as a satisfied customer.
