My 2002 FZ1 has 22,000 miles on it. I have always changed the oil (Castrol Actevo) and filter every 3-4k miles since I bought it new. Normally I have had to add about 1/8th of a quart between changes. The past month I have had to add half a quart total. This seems excessive. I don't notice smoke pouring out of the pipe or anything.
I changed my plugs about 3 months ago and noticed oil on the threads. That concerned me so I threw 'em in a baggy and took them over to the dealership. The mechanic told me they looked normal for the mileage I had on them and not to worry about the oil.
Should I have my bike looked over? It is about due for a valve adjustment and a carb sync.
