Oil consumption?

RE: Oil consumption?
The thing is, my fuel tap closing properly.(If you closed it with the tank of there was still fuel coming) and I was afraid that there might have gone some fuel in the oil thru the carbs.
I’ve been driving this bike a month know. When I got it I changed the filter and oil because it was probably standing for a year or two (project bike)
My dealer recommended as oil MOTUL 15W50 ESTER motorcycle oil.
I filled the bike with 3.5L of oil which filled her up to the F mark and it’s done about 2500km up to know.
When I fixed the tap I drained the oil just to check. I drained about 3.25L.
The oil looks a bit thin but no smell of fuel. I checked the new oil I had left in the bottle and it looks kind of thin as well compared to normal motor oil but I can’t really make up my mind.
This oil is expensive so I don’t just want to chuck it out (in South Africa oil and fuel is fairly expensive compared to the US) but I don’t want to damage the engine either.
