05' summit 800 oil consumption.. ahhhhhhh

[Winterfreak]

My 05' summit 800 is using 1.4 liters of oil per 8 - 9 gallons of petrol. It's way to much.. and smokes. How do I adjust the oil pump and how much?

Having a similar problem. Check to make sure your oil cable is not too tight. And watch it while you hit the throttle to make sure its not sticking

On my o06 800 Adrenalin there is a threaded coupler in line for adjustment. I am guessing there is a similar set up on your 05 Summit. Check your manual or download one for a few bucks and it will tell you how to adjust.

Just follow the oil line down and you will find an adjustment nut that you can tighten or loosen. I would adjust half a turn at a time until you get to 35:1 or so.
Should be able to run at least 3 tanks of gas for one tank of oil I'd say.

follow the oil line cable to where there is a rubber boot pull back the rubber boot and pull on it it should pull out 16.5mm measure with digital calipers the manual they use some special tool but digital calipers work might need one person to pull cable and other person to measure amount of cable that is pulled out just pull out till snug a little less then 16.5mm is best which means a little less oil, adjust by turning the cable adjuster to get right measurement the adjuster is right there before coupling i am sure you can figure it out
