OIL GULPER

[WHEREDAFUGAWEE]

I have an 2006 Polaris 700 (755) RMK 159 with a few mods to the engine and suspension and have recently noticed that i am burning more oil than in the past. I would fill up the oil reservour with Polaris VES oil and would ride. I noticed that after a couple of weekends of a good 50+ or more miles of riding each day that the oil reservour would be close to empty. There is no exhaust smoke while i ride except upon a cold engine start and warm up. I had a complete pre season tune up including exhaust valve cleaning. There is no evidence of oil leakage around the engine. The sled has close to 2100 miles on it and yearly tune ups. Next season i will be doing a new engine rebuild. I ride some trails but mostly boondocking and some hill climbing.

Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks

check for a sticking oil pump cable at the pump

Having a similar problem. Found an oil cable in several pieces. In the process of repairing.

How far down is the level?
Is it even with the outlet about 1/2 way the inboard side of the bottle at the end of the day?
Do you notice any "loading up" and rough running when you let is sit for a while after you park?

Betting throttle cable to the oil pump is broken. It will go to full open by default in that case and use alot of oil

X2 My 900 was doing the exact something. Oil cable was broken.
