Just got back from a weekend of very hard riding on the trike. It's got a 1300 dual port type 1 engine and transaxle, did around 700 miles on it, first 250 with #2 cylinder only showing 95psi, then the rest with the engine making very loud clattery noises, using around 2 litres of oil every 200 miles. Had trouble selecting gears on the M6 on the way home. Parked up at home and it did this

is it a problem? yes indeed. Shocked
It might help to change the title of your post as some folk might pass over it thinking you are wanting advice on what type/brand of oil to use, which has been asked many times before. you need advice on what's wrong with your motor.
it reminds me of when my beetle suffered a partial seizure and one of the pistons cracked but was held together by the rings. engine became noisier and blew oil out the breather...

Yes, it's down to the bottom line, but there is oil on it.
