At 12,000 miles it was due for a major service which would have included
a valve check/adjustment. I would recommend having this done as it may
shed light on the problem, if there even is one. Based on what I've read
int the past I think your oil usage is considered "acceptable" according
to Triumph. You might search the archives and see if you can find
anything on the topic.
Best of luck,

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.
