RE: [ST] Oil use

["Ken Mitchell" <kp.mitchell@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oil use on my Sprint RS also increased dramtically of late. Odd, but the
performance hasn't appeared to suffer.

At a recent track day, it started making a small spot from the airbox vent
tube. I thought...rings? Valve seals?

Then it hit me... It's gotta be something simple, the seal on the left end
of the crank, part of the crankcase breather system. I should have the
replacement in for the weekend riding, and I'll let you know if this is it.
I'm pretty confident it is. Cheap fix. Not a big problem to contend with or
complain about after 43,000+ miles.
