Oil consumption

How much oil should my '01 700 be using with the pump lever set at the mark. Reason I ask is cause I ran 40-45 miles with the oil tank close to being topped off and when I checked the level today it looked like the tank only dropped about 3/4-1 quart. Seems I've used more in the past for the same mileage?? I pulled the oil line off at the pump and very little oil was coming through, barely a steady stream. I'm gonna replace the oil filter and change the tank grommet, but I hope the damage isn't already done. :eek:

That sounds about right, my 800 used just barely over a quart and we rode 56 miles.

Sounds like mine. It just uses a bit more when I'm riding wet heavy powder. Do these have a fail safe where it dumps more oil when it gets hot??
