Oil Problem

[Jon]

I recently topped my oil up (crank case) and I had to use 1/2 litre to get it level my fault cause I didn't check from when I got it.

About a week later I'Ve noticed the level drop to the minimum amount allowed? There is no leak that I know of cause I keep it in the garage and have noticed no oil on the ground.

Anyone know why this could be? (Yamaha SR125)

Cheers for any advice!

Hi

Probably burning a bit. My old CB100N (years ago) used virtually no oil for about the first 500 miles after an oil change, then drank the stuff like a wino in a brewery

Give the bike an oil change and keep an eye on it

All the best

mine drinks it also

some people say the CBR250 does anyway, others say no 4 stroke should use any oil, but its goin somewhere inside my bike, cos its not leaking

its not as expensive as topping up a 2 stroke though, so i can live with it

Mine uses a lot of oil. I was told that it is normal for a Single to burn a bit of oil.

It has a slight leak too, but there's hardly any oil comes out of there. My side stand has a dribble of oil down it when the bike gets its weekly clean
