I had burned 2.5 quarts of oil within 1000 miles before I took it in. Whatever the cause I hope it doesn't happen again after this. This will be the second time in the shop and third top end this bike has had since I purchased it. But the shop has always been willing to make it right.

I've only run it down to about 30ish miles on the range and it fit about 3.1 gals in at the pump.

Front wheel bearing?
Ive done 650 Miles now, and Im hearing a weird noise from the front of the bike (it seems to be the front anyway).
Its a sort of tinny, rasping sound which is there intermittently on acceleration and deceleration. The best way I can describe it is like spinning the wheel of a skateboard, hearing the bearings move.
Has anyone come across anything like that?

I try to fuel up when the reserve lights comes on, but when filling up I found out that if I'm patient after the pumps shuts off if I can consistently fit an extra .6 gallons. I fill the neck filler thing in the tank and then shake the bike a little till the gas goes down,I do this repeatedly until the gas won't go down anymore, This usually gets me about 30 miles before the range display even starts counting down.
