I did a 350km trip on Friday.Half tar and other half on gravel.Speed on tar was between 100 and 120 km/h and on gravel between 80 and 120 km/h.The bike used about 300ml of synthetic oil.Got back home one Saturday with another 170km after topping  up on Friday night and she needs probable the last 200 ml again.I serviced the bike about 2500 kms back.Is it because of that or is it normal usage?I have to get the inlet valves replaced now because since Friday night the bike doesn't want to idle anymore and the guy who adjusted the valves 2500 km s back said the one inlet valve needs replacing and the timing chain too.So now I was wondering if I should do the rings while he's doing the timing chain or is that oil usage normal?Bikes got 22500 kms on the clock now.
