The "hickups" could be related to the oil comsumption.
I expect it's too late for a refund on the engine !!
2 Litres in 5000 is incredibly high. As long as there isnt a pool of oil under the bike, then this engine needs stripping down and the piston rings checked and also the valve seals..
Could also be the cylunder head gasket. Check the colour of the coolant in the radiator ! Is it white and frothy or normal ?? If it's contaminated with oil, then most likely the cylinder head gasket..
Sorry mate, looks like this engine is worse than the last one

hi ted,
thanks for the advise all these while. the hipcups happened regardless of the engine oil level. it sounded something had skipped when it is idling.
there isn't any leakage of oil from any gasket or nuts.
i think we just have to keep topping up oil till we get home, then i can tear it apart and look for the proper doctor.
there is no doctor around here. everyone (north america and australia, not to mention east timor and indonesia) is just guessing...
so i will bear with it.
what about the hipcup?
anyone has this experience?
