Subject: Re: Oil consumption and more questions
Hi Gregor and all AT riders on the net,
- Oil consumption: don't think 0,3l/1000 km is too much. For example, BMW
R100GS manual states that oil consumption is considered normal while it
does not exceed 1l/1000 km. Nevertheless, be carefull to check level
frequently.
- Oil change: various articles I found in magazines and on the net
convinced me to use fully synthetic oil. I believe the longevity of the
engine is worth the investment. As Jorn said, I change every 12000 km.
With my old CX650E, I noticed that oil consuption was minimized with good
quality (mineral) oil.
- Sensor: I've also an RD04. I'll check in the workshop manual how it
works and will post the answer by tomorrow.
Have fun,
Pierre
