I checked oil consumption today and on an 00 ZL 500, running at 33:1. Plugs are not wet only dark brown, varied riding conditions during check including WOT, ran sled 42 miles for check, jetted with 340's (2 sizes below factory), 1500 RPM idle, VForce reeds, smokes like crazy at idle, oil adjustment marks line up at idle and full throttle, runs great, 10mpg during check, lots of power no bogging at all. Has used the same massive amounts of oil since bought but this is first formal consumption check. Shouldn't this sled be closer to 50:1? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
