the 110s have been leaking oil out the back end under load!! you may have heard this by now though!!

Here is an update to my oil usage.

I had the bike in the shop so they could test a few things.. compression, leak down etc...
In the process the topped the oil off to 7X on the stick (FULL)
At this time the bike had 1104 miles. When I got it home I checked the oil cold which I always do
for an apple to apple check. I know it should be checked hot and I do it also. But to see how much I'm dropping I do it cold.
Back to my point...

As I said bike had 1104 with a full reading. I have since put 849 miles on the bike for a total of 1953 on the odometer.
The cold reading now is 1 1/2 X. So, I went from 7X to 1 1/2X in 849 miles, dam near a quart.
I consider this excessive, do you agree??
I am going to meet the Regional Service Manager nest week and your support may be helpful.

Thanks For Your Feedback!!

I have no oil loss between changes (5000) miles, and as has been pointed out, I fill to the halfway mark on the dipstick cross-hatching.

Firechief2, How much oil do you put in after you change your oil and filter? Thanks in advance CAHDBIKER

when changing oil, only put 3.5 qts in it . run it up to temp. then shut off and check. add as needed

Just did a 4500 mile trip in 8 days of pretty hard riding and maybe used a few ounces of oil on my 09 SEUC. My 07 UC did about the same, a few ounces between fluid changes.
