XRL ? Oil Consumptions....argh!
Here's what I've got going on. Have an XRL and my engine completed seized..top and bottom end. I was running it @ 65-70 mph for 3 hrs. or so and it locked up.
Had the engine rebuilt and I've put 1100 miles on it so far (only had 2900 when it seized!!). Changed the oil at 500 miles (took 3 quarts) and it's taken an add'l 3 quarts to keep it full.
Not a single drip of oil is leaking from the bike. It's not smoking, have no oil in my airbox. I'm stumped. The mechanics that rebuilt it have no answers and I took it to a 2nd Honda shop for another opinion. No clue there either. My US-Tierra trip are on shaky ground right now...
What's normal oil consumption for the XRL? Any suggestions why the bike is using so much?
Thanks for the help,
Justin
