Default outlaw 525 oil consumption

I did my break in. 3 hrs. Took it in for an oil change and valve adjust. Now when I go out and ride it seems to use a little oil. Just right below the sight glass or right at the bottom. I'll put someoil in it. Maybe 1/4 of the way up the sight glass. The next day after riding it's back down.
Just changed the oil today for the second time. We'll see if it gets better. Maybe a break in thing? Anybody have any ideas or advice.
P.S. I LOVE THIS QUAD>

well its a polaris what do you expect?? just kidding
check your crank case for cracks or some thing maybe your cylinder head has a leak somewhere in it you could have chipped or something in the cylinder and oil is somehow getting in there and another possiblity is maybe your oil ring on your piston is defective-----possibilities.

Its a KTM not a Polaris...... Well I guess they are both horrible right? no im just kidding..... ktm is nice, although i do hate how they claim to have 62hp on their 525 and 59 on their 450, and that seems like BS, cuz the 525 doesnt even have 59hp

The 525 they claim has 51.5 hp. I have heard of one dynoing at 59 with some mods.
