let me preface this by saying that i dont know much about bike maintnance, but am trying to learn...
1) So, i noticed something strange over the last couple days. when i'm crusing on the freeway my rpms are not always in the same place when i'm going a given speed. what i mean is, on tuesday when going 70mph in 6th, my rpms were about 6k but today, while going 75, my rpms were at 6k. what can cause this? it seems like it came out of no where because my bike doesnt feel any different.
2) over the past 3 months my oil level has gone down, but i dont seem to be leaking oil. could i be burning oil or is this normal and my worrying too much? the level did not drop very much, it went from just above the full line to a little bit below it.
thanks in advance,
david
