How about swapping the tranny fluid for Seafoam???
I have done the ATF in the engine thing on cars too. I'm a little leary of putting ATF in my crankcase on my bike. (not sure why... just seams wrong to me)

Are you overfilling it? You generally don't get that much blow-by without seeing exhaust smoke also.I am having to add almost 1/2 qt of engine oil every 200 miles.
I don't think I am overfilling it. I top it off to the top line on the dipstick. Not a drop more.Are you overfilling it? You generally don't get that much blow-by without seeing exhaust smoke also.
hot or cold? Whenyou check it is the bike at operating temp. and just shut down?
I check the oil when I start the bike (just to make sure the oil is present) then I ride it, and check the level when I park it. Example:
I make sure there is oil in the tank (on the dipstick) ride it to work, park the bike put the jack stands under the rear axle and check the level. If it is not to the top line on the dipstick, I add oil until it is on the top line. I repeat this process when I go home at night.
I haven't tried letting the level somewhere in between the lines though. I am afraid the tank will get too low and ruin my engine.
Carry a quart with you and add a bit when it is at the bottom mark. And try checking it only when hot, on the side stand. I guess what I'm saying is let it run down a bit and see if it stops spitting and consuming so much.
