How much oil Burned is normal?!?
I used a quart of oil in 4000mi no oil leaks, and none comming out of the throttle body. I don't remember using this much oil before. The bike has 45,000mi on it. is it normal to use this much oil? I changed the oil about 4 weeks ago I don't remember it being low then.

I would say that 4000 miles to a quart would be considered normal but I would not want mine using that much LOL. My 04 with 80,000 miles did not burn any between changes and my 2011 does not burn any either. My 2009 KLR on the other hand burns a quart every 1000 miles or so depending on the speed. If you drive slow no useage if you drive it fast (for a klr anyways) it sucks it pretty fast.

possibility the oil is going somewhere else...My 2009 FLHTC started missing eng. oil.....After adding eng. oil a couple of times the stator plug on the primary started leaking and bike seemed sluggish...I checked the primary oil level and confirmed where I was suspecting my oil was going...The crankshaft seal on the left crankcase was leaking eng. oil into the primary.

what year is the bike?...if it's an EARLY 05 it could be valve-guide-seals....if not, then it's just a "drinker"..some do-some don't..ALL burn SOME all...I've seen some people claim, "my bike doesn't burn a DROP of oil"...it's IMPOSSIBLE..they just have bikes that burn it verrrry-sloooooowly....
