[QUOTE="AArnie, post: 314610, member: 4446"] Hi All, I'd like to know if my oil my consumption is is high on an FRJ1300A 2003 UK. At the beginning of September I gave the bike a service, including new filter and oil. Today whilst riding to work the oil light came on. Luckily i was 5 minutes from home and when i was pointing downhill the light goes out, so I rolled home and filled it up again. I checked the oil - nothing in the glass! Now i usually check the oil level regularly, but for one reason and another I probably havn't checked it for a week or so. The milage on the service was 23756 and the mileage today was 26959. Diff of 3202 Miles. I do a lot of motorway riding - 170 mls a day. Is this normal usage - in which case I need to make sure i definitely check regularly, or is it using more than might be expected? What might the cause be? Any suggestions? Would checking the plugs help identify any issues? ...and no, nothing is leaking, no puddles anywhere. Many thanks AArnie. [/QUOTE]
