yx140 burning oil

dear experts,

one day i left my bike over at the mechanic for a service to change the back tube/Tyre, valve clearances, nd 2 change a plate on the top end of the engine because i had threaded the bolt that connects from the engine to the oil cooler. Back to the point, after this i noticed when i got home that my bike didn't have enough oil so i topped it up to full. Took it out at broady mx track couple days later for my mates bday. i gave it a good thrashing to be honest. i noticed at one stage it was smoking white smoke like it was a 2 stroke. i let it cool down for like 5min. started it again and it was fine. I got home checked the oil and noticed it was at the same level as it was when i got it back from the mechanic.

Does it stop burning oil and some specific amount left in the engine?
What needs to be replaced?
Can i just keep topping it up nd not worry about it?

Please help guys nd thanks.

chinabike mechanic. After he had done the valve clearances it has got its compression back and i can start it without the choke cold. It also felt like it gained power. It's a dealer where they sell only chinas. But yeh mayb i dunno.

it was near empty so i put in the remaining 300ml of oil that i had left over. After i put that in, i checked the dipstick and it was perfectly topped up to where it should be. i use semi synthetic motul gold oil. I always buy it in a litre bottle. i always pour in 700ml so i have 300ml left over if i need to top it up and when i buy another litre i have another 300ml left over so i can just put in 600ml for the next oil change.

anyway could my rings be burnt? or the gaskets, i dunno.
