Quick sanity check. Check the manual to see if the bike is supposed to be upright or on the sidestand when you check the oil level. If you're topping it up on the sidestand when it's supposed to be level, you're probably overfilling it (assuming sight glass is on the right) and it could well be breathing/burning the excess.
If it's not that and oil isn't dripping out then it's either coming out of the breather or burning it. Check your airbox as most modern bikes would dump breathed out oil in here.
Get someone to follow you and look for blue smoke. Smoke under acceleration suggests worn/broken rings. Smoke on the overrun suggests valve stem oil seals. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |

Can you remember how to find the dealer?
Take it back there.
