Oil use on a CBR1000

[Paulus]

Did you guys ever see the videos from the 2000 open bike shootout from Motorcycle Online? On the dyno run all the bikes let out large puffs of blue smoke as they were winding down from full throttle. I don't think I've ever owned a bike that hasn't used a little bit (and one that used a lot - RC30).

MAYBE A PUFF , BUT MY BIKE USES NOTHING NOTICEABLE BETWEEN CHANGES

*checks oil*

SOUNDS LIKE IT WASNT RUN IN HARD ENOUGH

I don't follow the guidelines when running in new engines. I gave it who's your daddy after about 100 k's of varied riding.

The engine is cool now and I've marked where the oil level is. I'm going for a decent ride tomorrow and will check when I return.

I'll post the good or not so good news then.

If it has shit itself maybe this is my opportunity to get one of those fucking Suzuki's.

Maybe you should get a fucken Suzuki Finn....after nearly 24k my sook never changes oil level, hardly darkens the oil!

From the MCN messageboard:

My Blade has done just over 4000 miles and is currently in for a service, i have asked the dealer to look at the front as i get the same juddering under low speed breaking. I have also complained about the high oil consumption of 1 litre for 1500 miles?? Any body else had these probs.


Sounds like you haven't got the only one.

[Finn]

The oil I drained was darkish too so I'll do an oil / filter change next week.

Yeah but you didn't mention the 4 engine rebuilds did you?

The more I hear about CBR1000s, the less I like them. Seem to have too many problems for my liking. Pretty damn unusual for a Honda flagship model

HONDA BUILD QUALITY IS A MYTH , I FIGURED THAT OUT WHEN I MADE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING A BRAND SPANKING NEW BLADE.
I THINK MOST JAP BIKES ARE SIMILAR THESE DAYS BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE I THINK THE YAMAHA R1 LOOKS LIKE THE BEST QUALITY FIT AND FINISH , PROLLY STILL WOULDNT BUY ONE

The longer I leave my bike the more the oil drops in the sight glass...after one day its full,after 3 days it drops to about half and more than a week to 1/4..but it comes back after a run and stays full untill day 2 and starts to drop again!!!!
