Oil consumption - what's normal?
Have had a search and couldn't find any related threads so i thought I'd have an ask about.
How much oil does your bike use?
I have a 99 curvy that I'm commuting on at the moment (over 700 miles a week) and the oil level is dropping from full on a Monday to empty (on the sightglass lines) by Friday.
I know that Yamaha regard a litre every 1000 miles as within nromal boundaries but what about Suzuki?
Did the valve clearances at 27,000 miles and the bike now has 31,000 miles on the clock and rsiing every day.
There are no signs of leaks and I'm jsut looking for a bit of reassurance that this sort of oil use is normal before I start thinking about whipping the head off and putting new rings in
Cheers
Pete
