Hi there, the 750 has about 50 000km I have had it 1 year but dont ride it on a regular basis enought to have kept track of it (to many other bikes to ride).......i just noticed originally that after long rides i.e paris-scotland and paris- brest i have to half fill the oil tank again, which seems strange as the bike is not smokey. Now I get paranoid and check every week after use and i still seem to need to fill it by a finger or two. I'm concerned I am filling the whole engine with oil. From the march period I am going to use the bike and really check the mileage against usage. i never noticed the oil usage before I had some engine work done, dont think i really checked..... (I'm not saying it didnt happen though) The main dealer just checked/adjusted the valves and changed the worn, close to service limit parts in that area. dont know if its linked.....
Ref your usage of oil. a litre every 600 miles then I guess its not as bad as that, but I want a bike to ride without having nagging doubts about when it runs dry..
I,m looking forward to sorting the XT600 out though, the 750 may not get a look in ;-)
