CB1100 DX is using excessive oil I think. At OD reading 22.5K miles (last week), had dealer change oil and filter before I started touring. Toured for 6 days and 2500 miles (OD reading 25k) and check oil. Nothing registered in the oil window. Totally surprised me. Added quart and registered between low/high lines in window. On day 7 dropped in at Honda dealer and had them change oil and filter again; they filled to above high line in window. I road another 200 miles today and level registers half way between low/high lines in window. I think I have a problem but want to continue my tour (in Michigan now .. home is San Diego). FYI, first 1200 miles of tour my MPH was 85-95, 100 sometimes. Next 1200 miles was 80-90 MPH. Last few hundred miles at 75-80 MPH (since getting last oil change). First thought is just to keep adding oil and keep touring. ANY THOUGHTS?
