I have a 08 road glide with a stage 1 and the bike uses about quart of oil every 3000 miles. This seems a little high but I’m curious what others are getting? Anything I should be concerned about?
Since gear drive cams and 95" build... my 06 has used 0... nadda.... zilch... in 3200 miles.
before the build it would drink almost 2 quarts between oil changes... builder says the valve seals were shot.... but then again, the ol girl has 60,000 miles on her...
My husbands 06 Ultra with a Zippers 120" uses about a quart every 3000 miles as well. Zippers said that is considered normal. My 07 FXDSE uses none over the same distance
Thanks for the responses. I have not paid close attention to this so it might be only a half quart every 3000miles. I will be keeping an eye on this. As long as it doesn't get worse, I'm not too worried
