My 08 is burning lots of oil, How can I fix this? ?

I have an 08 yamaha that is practically brand new. It's burning a lot of oil. We have to keep filling it every hour after its been used. Whats going on

And yet another one of those guessing games.
here is a guess answer.
If you bought it on the basis it looks almost new without insisting on it running you should kick yourself up the arse, as the engine is worn and needs re-bore and new piston/s and rings.

If you mean you have had it since 2008 and its started burning oil, again its knackered and needs rebore and new pistons an rings.
Oh by the way I have a 2003 PEUGEOT that doesn't burn oil and I'm not telling what model,engine size or fuel it uses.......get my meaning?
