I have noticed at as my average speed of my Comet increases so does my oil consumption - mostly I suspect via the breather.
If I keep my speeds below 50 mph there seems to be almost no oil usage. When I run at speeds in excess of 70 mph the oil use goes thru the roof!
A recent 1/2 hour blast in the 80+ mph range ( so some 30 to 40 miles covered) resulted in almost a 1/2 pint of oil being consumed/lost.
My next step is to install a oil catch tank on the breather outlet.
My question however, is this level of oil use/loss normal??
Feedback welcomed.
