How much oil does your bike go though?
I seem to have to top my oil up once a month with about 250ml of oil, is it normal?
I dont seem to have any smoke comming out of the exhaust, so i just hope its normal. Mabey its the way i ride? the bikes only on about 13k miles.

Far to often!
I left it a month and put half a litre in then another litre was added by my local dealers when I poped in for a chat a week later. I park in the same spot so I know its not a leak. I'm on my second engine due to lack of oil  , will i ever learn?I'm told its the way I ride  and I should buy something sporter, but I love my SV. But this reminds me, should really go check the level...

It varies enormously. A while back it seemed to be drinking it. Then all of a sudden it was fine. Odd.
