i noticed my bike needs topping up with oil on a very regular basis....mmmmm
although i can't detect any smoke from the exhaust to indicate a problem and there isn't any oil leaks.
i'll have to keep an eye on it...

Mine to uses oil I just to it when needed
I'm in Coventry so not to far from you .

Welcome...yes they will use a bit of oil, but it shouldn't be less than 1000 miles between top ups.

I am Solihull so just a bit south of you

oil consumption, 1 litre per tank of petrol. sounds ok, just disappear in blue smoke when i pull up. comes & goes, sometimes ok. only done 8k miles but sorn for 7 years. bike now in the garage with donor engine. back on the road soon.

Good luck with the new engine hope all goes well

Agree 1l per 100 miles is way too much

Mine's never used any oil.

Oil and filter change every year and no top ups between.

She's only done 11k miles though !?
