P700m4 High mileage

[Rodger Dodger]

My 700 has almost 10,000 miles. It recently started using a little oil. I can smell it but have no blue smoke. I was wondering if anyone on here has used any kind of additive suck as slick 50, marvel etc. and if so what kind of results have you had?
thanks

Probably have a worn cylinder/rings at that mileage.

Nothing is going to fix it without replacing parts

How much oil?

My 2020 has always used a bit. So did the 500 I had. I can't remember for sure but I think my 2014 700 did as well. The 500 was actually the worst...

I wouldn't put anything like that in 700. If anything, I'd get some Yamaha ring free additive for the gas if you think the rings might be carboned up and sticking, but I don't think the 700 is known for that. As Mr Darkness said, it may just be time for some refreshing.
