Did you check it within the two months after you changed the oil? Bikes aren't like cars. You can't change the oil and then ride them for months without checking. I guess we'll all wait for his answer to know for sure. He may have seized his engine if he ran it too low, turned it off, and poured cool oil into the case.

These bikes are easily good for over 80K miles some people on this list have over 100K. I would suspect a leak probably around the oil cooler lines or the counter shaft seal (front sprocket). Look for oil on the front of the engine or on the left side of the swing arm.

I looked through prior posts, so I hope I am not asking something that has been answered elsewhere. So, my 1991 cb 750 has been great. I change the oil regularly. Last oil change was about 2 months ago. A few weeks ago, I rode the bike from Seattle to Walla Walla--about 275 miles each way. It was the longest, hardest riding I have done on this bike, and it was great. But, just now, I stopped for gas. After I filled up the tank, the bike wouldn't start. It was as if I had the kill switch on, but I didn't. So, I checked the oil and it was LOW. I added an entire quart before it got full!!!! Yikes!!! I know I do not have a leak. Am I burning oil? What to do? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
