    450 burning oil

    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?
