Are you getting blue smoke from the pipe?

How much oil are you losing?

That way it might help other peoples to help you.

Go back to dealer & get some education on maintainence of your machine. You should never have to add oil. No offence, but you do not need to ride unless you understand how an engine works. The dealer will be glad to help you with this & also look at your bike before you F it up. Good luck! No harm intended.

You better take it before it get worse.
You shouldn't able to add oil that much.
Assumiing that you still under the warranty? I wouldn't ride it till it fix.
