Default 06 800 using alot of oil???????

I was out today and put 50 miles on ,got home checked my oil and it was down to almost the add mark and it was right full when i left. It is not leaking any wear that i can see and i dont notice it burning it out the exhaust. I just wonna know were its going? It is not putting it in the breather either. It only was 1100 miles on it. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

If it's not leaking and you did not make a mistake when checking it; your burning it. Pull the plug and see what it looks like. There will be a lot of carbon on it if your burning that much oil.

It's critical that you check your oil in the same spot. Even just a few degrees of tilt will throw you off by a bunch.
