Have noticed that my bike seems to burn a bit of oil. Phoned Ducati Aylesbury who said this is normal. Does anyone else have this happen with their bike? Never had this with Jap il4's... Not a major issue and will top it up tomorrow...
It's not new, although it only had 1500 miles when I got it in June. I've done 1800 miles on it since so it's at around 3300... I don't think it's anything major, and in the past would change the oil every 2000 miles anyway...
A blade is known to use a litre of oil every 1000 miles, sometimes less, so no biggie. Altho my 848 didnt, none of my bikes ever have incl a 1000rr blade, but I ride like I stole it all the time and reckon thats why
No particularly 848 but a few people have mentioned when Useing Silkoline oil there bike used oil when it hadn't with other brands. Steve
I bought my 848 with 250 miles on the clock. Another, none whatsoever, mileage now at 7700ish. I check my level all the time because the 748 I had before, did use oil.
Ah! A case of RTFM!!... Checked it this morning and its fine... Was checking when the engine was warm before. The manual says to check when it's cold...
