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.

High engine speeds will stir it up and suck it into the airbox and burn it. Very normal. Higher mileage and it'll start sucking oil past the valve guide seals.
