47 questions - nearly
Should my STORM use oil between services - if so how much - should it be visible in the oil window - why does my oil light not come on when oil not visible in window - why do i need to top up every 500 miles when no oil leaks and no smoke - am i thick - will it cost - will i have to drink less beer to pay for it? Questions posted in order of seriousness - most important last...
Anyone who bothered to read to the end - your opinions are awaited with thanks....

Mine uses quite abit also. Bought the bike with fully synthetic oil in there, have been topping up withit too. Do I need to continue topping up with the same grade as is in already or can I use semi synth. Is there any benefit to using fullysynth really?, I was thinking of changing to semi?
Anyone know? advice appreciated..

oil
manual calls for "honda gn4"oil.i think its just mineral oil.dont know whether its any good or not.but its the recommended oil.
When I got my FahrtSturm, the previous owner had filled it with Castrol semi-synthetic. I had to keep topping it up every couple of weeks.
After I changed the oil to Motul 5100 semi-synth, I hardly ever have to top it up.
