Marty, I figure the only way my bike could be using oil is somehow running it through the cylinders. My right plug was a little oily every time I checked, but the last time it was fine. My mechanic friend says it could be because it leaks oil into the cylinder while cold, but seals tight when hot. The plugs were checked after riding hot for over 100 miles.

I'm worried it may be a ring that leaks while the engine is cold. Hopefully, I'll know more soon. I never added a drop of oil the first 3 years before the BB.
