Re: [ST] 2001 Sprint ST burning oil

["Zoltan Pavlakovich" <zpavlakovich@xxxxxxxxx>]

Valve clearance check at 12K. My mechanic recommended to have it done
around 8K, which I did. Mine is also a 01 which I bought in 03 with
roughly the same mileage, although no excessive oil consumption here.

It seems to use about a qt every 1500 miles or so. Bike has 13,000 miles. Seem to run fine and is not noticilbly lacking power. Has not been to a shop since I've had it, I bought it with 6,200 miles and don't ride it too hard.
