Not in my experience, BUT low oil has very serious consequences.

I love it, it does nothing exceptional but does everything well. Not been on it since my better half decided to come on the back and we got a bike suitable for two.

Looks very nice Scott.
Re a slip on, I'd spend the money on petrol, but they do sound nice.
