If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

I never could tell as I probably leaked more than burned :(.


Never measured any of this accuratrely so guessing a little................
I fresh engine unleaking motor probably wont use more than 1/4 quart in 2000 miles which most people change oil by then (like going from bottom line to top line).
 
Castrol GTX in mine Steve. Oil changes somewhere between 500 miles (wet years when it doesn't get ridden :cry:) and roughly 1500 miles otherwise. Never had to top it up.

A m8 of mine races his Gs1085 ,he uses Motul 10/40 semi synthetic the only
reason i used castrol power1 is because its easier to get should i need some out one day.
the other reason is never had any isues with castrol oils.
