The PCX is using a lot more oil now. Wasn't a sudden thing....just got worse, over time. Scooter still runs great, other than that.
Anyone else have this issue? It has always used oil since I got it [used]with about 2100 miles on it. Back then it would need adding
oil every 1500 miles or so. Intervals got more frequent Now it's closer to 3-400 miles.[3-4 ounces]. No leaks and no obvious smoke.
So, where is the oil going? Might need rings,,,,,,maybe more?? Running very well......so, not in any hurry. Thanks for your thoughts.

Re: Excessive oil consumption
If you are getting blow by (Which you should not be getting on a bike with that little miles), You can try a Catch can that goes where the dip stick goes. Lease that crank case pressure.

Re: Excessive oil consumption
Thanks Conelite..........I should have mentioned ....the PCX has 85k miles on it now.
Re: Excessive oil consumption
I forgot to ask how many miles..... Yeah you need a rebuild. Try running thicker oil for a temporary fix.
