oil usage

ou365 · 07-08-2008, 10:16 PM

I'm not sure if this is the right place to air this question,if not bear with me. Bought my '99 nomad in Feb. of 08, with approx. 28k on it, when i got it home i changed the oil right away. Since then i have put on about 5k miles and to keep the oil at least midway of site glass i have had to add near 2 qts. of additional oil. I know my bike has quite a few miles but this seems a bit excessive oil use...has no leaks. Changing oil tonight, will see how it does the next 5k. Any thoughts?
