My grandpa has a 2004 450es foreman and lately it has started using oil like crazy. there is no way that the rings are bad because hes a grandpa, it gets babied. There really shouldnt be any reason for it to be blowing smoke and using oil when its only 3 years old with minimal use. Has anyone heard of this problem????? Any help is appreciated.

well, regardless of who rides it, sounds like the rings are shot anyway, could be valve seals too, but i highly doubt it

it has to be rings, or it could maybe, maybe be valves, check your compression. how much oil are you talking about?
