Default oil consumption
Well, crap. For the very first time, I've had to add oil between changes. Not very much was needed, but still. Bike is an '08 FLHT, with stage 2. It only has 135,000 miles on it.

Probably because you are using the wrong oil. (oil discussion trolling)

Very little. This was NOT meant as anything serious just joking around a bit. I would expect an engine with that mileage to use some oil.

You're not supposed to joke around in here. This is all serious business. Shame on you.
