I have done many mods to my 08 since I got it in Feb. Less than 25 hours on it even. Changed oil 4 times now and baby it all the time. Since my last mod, 450r carb install, my oil disappears after 2 hours of use. I dont have any leaks. yes it does smoke a bit wich leads me to believe my rings might be bad. i did a compression test and it is right where the manual says it should be. im lost. pull the dipstick one day its full. pull it the next and it barely has any in the tank. please let me know if anyone has had this same issue and iff there is a diagnosis and treatment for it.

did you let it sit after the 2 hours of use to let the oil drain back into the Reservoir also when checking it warm it up for like 5 min then check the oil.

yeah always check the oil after you run it for a minut. When it sits the oil drains from the tank to the crank case so you have to crank it to fill the tank back up.
