Using oil is it normal

did you properly break the rings-in? like on a open clear road, accellerate fron 25 to 55 rapidly then let off the throttle ans let the bike coast in-gear to 25 mph. this is to be done several times. etc. just goggle breaking-in engine rings. and see. i know dealers says there's no need to do this, but once in a while, the results is a situation like yours. many even switch to non-syn oil
during this process.IMO
 
I wonder if running dino oil for a few thousand miles would help seat the rings better, if thats what it needs????

Too late for that....motor has been broke in for some time....what shape are the plugs in, if it's burning oil it will show. What was your response on the smoke blowing question again?
