Hi folks,
My '13 has 59.5k miles on its clock, and the last couple of oil changes I noticed that oil level before the change is on the minimum mark (the last time even slightly below than that) besides I always fill it up to the upper mark. To be precise, after filling the new oil I let the bike heat up, then cool down for 5 min, check the oil level (usually it's slightly less than upper mark), and add up to the upper mark again.
So, my question is: does the engine start to wear out and this means something will have to be done some time soon (like piston rings, valve oil seals)?
What is the oil consumption do you guys have at the bikes with higher mileage?
I use Honda GN4 10w40 oil, if that matters.
