    COnsumption is due to a poor piston design, some people have chance and alla is good but a lot of blade are oil burner cause to piston design.

    New rings fix nothing, if you want to fix, new piston after market like Wiseco, JE or CP and a good nickasyl job and the cylinder block.

    The guy who had the bike before me fitted them to stop the oil issues, the original rings were too light or didn't fit tight enough from what I understand . He had the bike dyno'd i have the results it's at 176 bhp. I've had the bike about a month now and have done about 500 hardish miles on it, no oil burnt. I really can't tell you much more. I have a quick shifter and power commandor on it as well which I absolutely love. The bike has nearly 15000 miles on it and runs like a dream. It's a Honda, what more can ya say.:)
