in rome and in trouble.

[futronix]

ok so ive got a problem.my 95 xtz660, 51000kms ,is using allot of oil.ive just ridden this bike from london to rome with my girlfriend and a good amount of luggage. we are headed to india. the bike has been using more and more oil everyday and yesturday it used 400mls in 125kms...
its not blowing any blue smoke on start up and still has plenty of power and is getting great fuel economy...when i was riding yesturday i could smell burning oil.today when i rode to rome it used hardly any oil....so i cant make out why it uses allot of oil sometimes and not others..????
i fitted a laser produro race pipe to my bike when i was in london,maybe ive got a problem with my valve seals?...
any info or advice would be great or a mechanic address in rome much better.
thank you people...
do you think it will harm the bike if i keep maintaining the oil levels and nurse it until i get somewhere i can get the engine looked at...
any advice appreciated...phil.
