Is it normal,but about every 500 or so miles I have to top up my oil as the warning light comes on.The R1`s service history is up to date and is due for its 14k service soon,does any one know if a mid milage R1 users oil this much.Dont think there is a problem as the bike is running so sweet and still putting out 143 at the back wheel.Does any one top their oil up at a certain milage.
Take it easy out there
I’ve done 2.5K miles on the Bandit (I know, nothing like the R1), but I havent topped mine up once!
Must be a Yamaha thing!
Go out with a BANG… Light a fart!
No its not, I always seem to top up more when its hotter weather….

Do you use fully synthetic or semi synthetic oil digger?

Fully synthetic as my manual says,10/40 is the viscoticy.Not sure if you can use semi and would it do any harm if you did.

I had an R1 and it used to use about half a litre every thousand miles. R1’s are known for using oil, but its quite normal I believe.

Yep ! R1’s are renowned for burning a little oil. Changing your oil to semi synthetic should help cure the problem.

Semi synth wont do any harm at all ! The fully synthetic stuff seems to get too thin and leak up through the rings and valves. Personaly I always buy semi, as long as its 10w/40 it’ll be fine and dandy.

Have tried all the above but things started to get messy when the hashbrowns got stuck on the crankcase.
