Re: [St] Loosing Oil

Hey Derek,



My 99 ST was a bit of an oil user. I would usually add about 500ml between services at 10k km intervals. If its not puffing smoke or marking its territory its nothing to worry about.




As for fogging visors, I discovered Fog City visor inserts a number of years ago and never looked back. There are other brands available that work just as well. Coloured types are available as are photochromatic. I just stick with the clear. If you go with one of these, make sure your visor is very clean before attaching and be very gentle when cleaning them as the surface is very easily scratched. I use warm soapy water, gently wipe it with a clean finger and dry it with a hair dryer.




Brett.

Subject: [St] Loosing Oil








After a spirited ride home a couple of days ago, I decided to check the sight 
glass and visualize the oil level.  It wound up being about half a quart low.  I 
have not seen any puddles and my bike is not smoking.  Any suggestions on where 
my oil might be going?  I have about 1000 miles left before the next oil change 
is due.
 
Also, does anyone have a magic trick for preventing the inside of your shield 
from fogging up?
