Added oil.

[uscgmac_imp]

I took a look at the bottle and it seems I added a bit more than a quarter of a quart, so I was down more than I thought. Dang. I checked the level while holding the bike roughly level rather than on the center stand.
I tend to ride with the RPM in the 3-4k range most of the time. I suppose that might account for some oil loss, though I would hope not. I try hard to never lug it and I don't go over 5k RPM. Well, maybe now and then, but never before lunch
Any thoughts on who might have stolen my oil?

First off I dont see why you wouldnt go over 5k rpm, that doesnt help anything, the bike is made to go through the entire power range in all rpms. I ride up past 5k rpm all the time and never a problem and no significant oil loss. I use a full synthetic. I love to wind the bike up to 6k+ sometimes in third and fourth gear. This is a in line 4 and its made for it. All the power is in the middle and up top, you should enjoy what the bike has to offer. Why you lost that much oil is beyond me. Ive heard if you baby these bikes from the get go and dont rev them up real good from new then you dont fully seat the rings and can get some blow by leading to oil loss. Every new bike ive ever had ive riddin it hard from the beginning and never have an oil loss issue ever. I dont mean beat on it but ride it like you or actually I would usually do.
Actually after 2600 mi its probably no big deal at all, if you used a whole quart i may be concerned but a little top off is really nothing, just dont over fill it. Id rather be down a quarter then over. Especially if your using synthetic you would be fine with a quarter quart down. Dont think you should worry at all. Just dont baby her, twist that wrist and enjoy.[/u]
