[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 45121, member: 2708"] Just kidding, I needed all the oil for mine. Good to know the K&Ns work, I have them on two other bikes and have had them on this one since I received it. They have had lots of negative press over the years, perhaps the studies were all funded by Fram and the like. I do like the idea of foam & oil, it is proven in extreme service situations. I never thought it would be up to the flow and probably isnt for a race bike, but seems just fine for road use. Now I can find more Gravel roads to lead Tony Cording down. I have noticed on mine that oil consumption goes up greatly with speed. Awhile ago we did a trip to California two up, sixty MPH roads, total oil used was 8 ounces for 2500 miles round trip. Speed up five mph and the oil consumption goes up a bit, another five and it more than doubles, another five and I'm adding oil constantly, almost all going out the breather, as you say.
