Hi there , just thought i would ask peeps about oil their bikes consume, this was prompted by seeing a gs1150 on e bay last week where the seller said he had had several gs 1150s and the one he was selling had just turned over the 100K miles and used about 500 ml every 2K miles. which he stated was exactly the same as a 43K miles bike he had previously owned " they all use that " was the suggestion .
i am new to the oilhead world and have only done 1300 miles on my 2001 gs 1150 single spark non abs and put in 300ml of oil to top up , this was after getting it 1300 miles ago and doing all filters and fluids so i am on track for the 500ml every 2K !
Out of interest the oil i used , there was a question about it on here some time ago, is the german distributed mannol safari 20W 50 cost just over £20 for 4 l , it seems ok and i intend to replace it every 2K, not sure if i need to do the filter every 2K might do that every 4K ( ?)
