Default Oil Usage

How many miles before anyone notice their bike use or cosumed oil. I have an 07 RKC just out of curiousity after a ride last night I checked the oil level as rescribe in my maintenance manual. I had to add 10 oz. to bing it up to the full line it's been 3,500 mile since my last oil change at 5k. I have Amsoil 20W/50 in it.

A 1/3 of a quart in 3500 miles, that's not bad. Mine will use a 1/2 a quart over 5000 mi. I would never fill it to the full mark however, half way between the full and add marks is right, other wise you can blow oil out the air filter.

thank you. Right now the level is about two "X" below the full line.
