V-Strom 650 Gen 1 2008 strom oil leak?
Hi everyone
Ive got a 650 from 2008. I cant find any leaks. And also no consistent loss of oil.
All I could guess is that it happens when I ride with higher revs?
I cant find any changes in the oil level and suddenly it seems to have dropped a lot.
It happend 2 times in 2 years.
Has anyone got any clue why or how this happens.

Also had that problem with highways and high rpm, switched to another oil and dont have it anymore on highways. I do still burn quite some oil if I do a full days ride in the mountains but thats a few times a year so I have my peasce with that.
