RE: oil level droping
If you filled your oil tank so that the oil level was at the full line, then yes this would be normal. When you change your oil, only fill it up to about 3/4 of the way to the full line. If you put more than this in, it will end up being blown into your intake because of excess pressure built up in the top end. Don't worry, it is designed to work this way so it wont hurt your bike, but that's probably what your problem is.
