My quad does not smoke and runs good and has no leaks however I seem to be adding motor oil on a regular basis 1/4 a quart every other ride. Has anyone else noticed this on their quads?

the 450's do this, especially when new. the problem should slowly stop as you ride more. mine did

mine has been sucking oil like crazy lately, I have been doing quite a bit of wheelies and 5th gear crusing lateley, but still. Mine takes about a quarter of a quart every 3 or 4 hours also.

mine started sucking oil bad a few weeks ago. it could drink almost the hole thing in 3 hours of ride time. then one day it just flat out died. seemed like the rings were toast. took it into JH racing not a thing was wrong with anything "while i was at it got a piston and cam" after he put it back together still wouldnt start got home and it started right up. doesnt drink oil anymore
