Hello MN800 I check my oil all the time, I also run my 800 hard. I do not go through a lot of oil, but I add now and then. I do not leak or burn. It just goes to the motor god's

I have a 2008 Sportsman 800 that burns oil. They told me there was nothing wrong with it. It still has less than 50 hours on it, and it's sitting at the Polaris dealership right now with a messed up rod bearing. Polaris is trying to say that water is the cause, but the crank and the rods are blue and purple. That shows me that it has been hot, not drowned out.
