is it normal that the vipers go through so much oil?? adjusted the line and everything, even now starting it here and there can tell its getting too much!! any help please??!
 

No, it's not normal. They usually use hardly any oil at the lower end of the factory spec. Have you ever figure out the actual ratio you are using? make sure the cable isn't pulled out of the adjuster. That will make it use a bunch. Also do you have stock bars, bar riser, stock oil cable?

Yes everything is stock, bars, cable etc. The line pulled out on the one sled so I fixed that, it helped but still gets too much. I've adjusted it but can't figure it out. Having this problem awhile now
 
At the worst point it was using a quart almost every 75 miles. Now its considerably less, but hard to say the actual ratio this time of year.. Guess its better to get too much than not enough!
