[QUOTE="kellymac530, post: 3832, member: 115"] all 4t bikes will use some oil and the ktm is definately a user, but that sounds excessive for that short of a ride. there can be a few reasons. im not as familiar with rfs engine as i am with the xc4, and the lc4. on the lc4 there is a major oil change bleeding process and if that is not done correctly you can put in all the oil u want and it wont give a correct reading. i would put the correct amount of oil it after a complete oil drain/change...then compare that to how it looks in the window. {do rfs motors have a window?} then run long enough till you think it looks low. let it sit over night and recheck it. if it still looks low drain it completely, letting it sit with the drain plug out overnight again, then measure the drained oil to see how much is actually missing as a baseline. that will possibly surprise you with the results.
