Oil (consumption)
Hi all,
I am a bit dissapointed in the oil-consumption of my KLR. Bought a KLR650 built 98 with 4000 km last year. Has now 8000 km.
Always use semi-synthetic 10W40 and refill with bike upright against wall till oil level is just above max-marker.
Found that the bike uses around 650-700ml on 1000 km (mixed conditions: country road, highway).
I find this quite a lot. I plan to do longer trips (Nord Cape next june , Panamericana year after), and think it is quite annoying to carry 2 litres of extra oil.
Any hints, tips greatly appreciated...!
Gijs.
