[QUOTE="samamoto, post: 1417884, member: 87432"] Bike has 78k now and is scheduled for the valve check next week. When doing so I already requested to get the oil loss checked. This is the first time I'm seeing the oil consumption on this bike. Up until now it was always pretty much sealed. No puddles when standing, it seems to be a result of riding. Yes, I push it quite a bit and I do a lot of compression braking - didn't change the braking pads in forever and they still have plenty of meat left on them. When looking around it I don't see any other obvious leaks or places where oil could drip from other than the left dog bone pretty clearly being fed from the airbox missing hose. I'm leaning to shift the priorities, ask to make the leak down and compression tests, see if the engine is still worth the effort and only next do the valves. Being an 06AE with almost 80k miles bike has more of symbolic market value and if the engine starts to fail I may need to explore secondary options. [/QUOTE]
