Re: Burning Oil

["David Arnett" <DArnett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All piston engines burn oil.  I noticed a slight drop between "new" and the 6K oil change.  I also noticed when changing the oil, that it took a very little addition of oil to make a considerable difference in the oil level when nearing the "high mark", which was comforting since the level was showing a little over ½ between the high and low marks.  Also note that the Triumph/Mobil oil jug will fill the sump exactly, so no need to level the bike perfectly in fear of overfilling.  Of coarse, fill the oil filter before spinning it on.

I have done 4000 miles since my 6000 mile service and have noticed that the
engine oil level has dropped slightly.

Is it normall for the ST to burn a little oil?
