Where is my oil going?
No smoke... no leaks... no obvious place it is going. Running Lucas 20-50. Everytime I go for a ride lets say around 300kms, there is no oil in the sight glass when I get home. Bike on the center stand. Where is the oil going? I don't get it.

Valve seals will leak oil past them and can burn with none or very little visible smoke. If you are running synthetic, that smokes even less. I have this problem with my 79sf, only my friends riding behind me can smell it.2H7 (79) owned since '89

So you have burned all that oil in a couple hundred mile ride ?? Does it take longer to fill back up at least some ??
If not, how much are you adding to get to the level mark ??
