  1. Has the oil level in the window gone down ? The Testastretta has a habit of burning a little if it's even slightly overfilled. Andy

  7. Coolant levels never move.

    I only put hand over exhaust to check because oil level dropped.

  8. Few good glugs. Under 500ml at guess but I'd need to go to garage tomorrow to be more accurate.

  10. What's worse case here and % chance?

    If I do a few more 100 none track miles before winter will I likely make anything worse?

  12. nobody would commit to answering that. unless its making unusual noises just go for it. maybe check the plugs first and note if one cyl looks darker/oilier than the other.

  14. So, (not quite letting this go yet while the ales kick in), what would be an acceptable amount (ml?) Of oil to burn in a 999 doing 200 fast road miles and 100 hero-level track miles?

  15. Thought (silly question?), it couldn't have blown out the vent thingy thing and stuffed itself in the airbox? I was bouncing off the rev limiter once or twice :innocent:

  20. I was going to suggest checking your airbox for vented oil.
