Title: How much oil does your Vision use?
Post by: wolfman on April 29, 2004, 04:20:06 PM
My consumption "seems" minimal at worst..High speed (freeway) operation makes it somewhat worse, around town (varing speeds) makes it better.  I use 20w-50 Castrol "motorcycle oil" Does viscosity make any differance in your expirence?

I can't say how much mine uses but the volume drop between changes is negligible.  Definitely much less than 1qt. per 1000 miles.  I don't ride it hard very much and only have about 7000 miles total on it.  I've never had to add any oil between changes.

The only way I lose oil is from leaking gaskets...   :P

Other that that it uses ZERO oil.  ;D

Mine leaks just enough to make the bike attract every spec of dust in San Diego. I have to wash it 3 times between oil changes.Never have to add between then though.No blue smoke.I do however ride the thing as hard as she will take.Like I tell the guys in the Navy,"It's like a 23 year old girlfriend,she has to be ridden and every once in a while,ridden HARD.
