Nt1980 is on a distinguished road
Ok just to let you no so far

Ive been out for a littke ride and checked the level and shows one third on the dip stick

If i leave it running on tick over for ten to fifteen minutes it shows the same

So ive still used one litre of oil in that 5000 mile period does that seem the same with other peoples teneres

PS i have checked for leaks all round the engine and there is no visual sign of that

the aorbox has a little oil in which i assume is the norm

The air box pipe has about inch and a half of oil/water

checked to see if the head gasket has gone but no signs of oil in the water and poped down my mates garage to get it checked all ok

no visual smoke coming from the exhaust though there is the usaul splatter on the silver casing of little black dots as in some ones previous post on the forum

so all i can guess is the bike has used that oil and must be normal sorry to be an idiot
