Greg Zumbehl Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I had a generation 1 FZ1.[yes the bumble bee] . I also used Amsoil 10/40 after dumping my Break-in oil, and shortly after noticed I was using way too much oil. After much research from that point on to 25,000 miles I used Rotella dino oil 20/50. It is what the majority of the members of the FZ1oa group use. My oil consumption dropped to about a third of what the Amsoil was using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1limited Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Once,, well, ok all the time, my bultacos would smoke real bad cuz the oil was getting in the gas, I had to lay it on it side running with the throttle pinned to clear out the plug. “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.” --Thomas Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyribs Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 These bikes are weird on oil level. When I first got mine is seemed to be using oil pretty bad, then it just stopped. Now it's making oil. Fill it (correctly) to the top line on sight glass, go for a ride, now the level is plumb above the sight glass. I dunno. After 10k miles I just check that it's not empty and roll on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phanomenal07 Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 Well the guy told me that sometimes it happen and then stop. Im waiting to see if riding it In cooler weather make it stop. I only got to ride my bike in 90+ degree weather this summer and it’s only been happening since it got hot. So if it stops which I hope it does I’ll switch to a different oil next summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
