Exclamation Drop in Engine oil!!!

hey Guys, i own a 2005 model HH Karizma with a r1100 filter and a ngk iridium plug. Bike has run over 15k with K&n up to date bike has run around 38k. i always used to change engine oils regularly for 2.5 k if mineral and 6k if its a synthetic. recently i used motul 5w40 Full synthetic oil and noticed oil level was decreasing at a rapid state when i got it checked, my mechanic said clutch plates worn out (he checked by kicker which was slipping, plates were really worn out when i saw them being changed) then just to make sure prob doesn't repeat i used mineral oil of 20w40 grade (as recommended by HH) and by the time i rode 1800kms i had to top up 800ml of oil! There is no visible white smoke nor are there any leakages(i check every single day).

Is it possible for my piston rings to wear out and yet smoke is nt visible?
is it possible that that bore kit has gone for a toss n i shud rebore it?
whatever the reason may be , there is no visible white smoke nor Leakages :/ what can be this mysterious problems ?
