RE: oil consumption
Hey:
Just drain the old 10w30 m1 out and add vtwin 20w50 cycle m1 in it, and see if that makes a difference. I don't think I would do a diesel flush until I tried that 1st . I would run a little thicker oil in it than 10w30 anyway if you live in MD as the 95 CBR 1000F owners handbook pg 74 recs 10w 40 as std and 20w 50 or 15w 40 for that part of the USA, MD - South , 0 - 40 Cel /32-100 deg F avg temps.

RE: oil consumption
I tried 20-50 in my Valkyrie one time cause they were out of the 10-40 and it took forever to get started. It was so bad I turned the bike off, drained the $4/qt oil immediately and drove to a different dealership for 10-40. Anyone have experience with 20-50 in this bike?
