So I’ve noticed that my v4r seems to be losing oil. No leaks anywhere. The bike runs well, however , the oil level goes down after every ride. Even short rides. In less than 500 miles the oil level went from the max fill line to the minimum fill line. I checked the oil many many times. I checked it cold, hot, 2 hours after riding, and the next morning and everything in between so there’s no doubt. We can avoid those questions

The last several times I started the nine I notice what I thought was steam or condensation coming out of the left undertail Akra exhaust. Which side I guess is irrelevant since they connect to the same tube at one point.

But then I started it in a dry temp control garage and saw a thin white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I checked the oil after just idling it and it lost oil even then. Seems like cold starting seems to lose the most oil but I can’t prove that.

Anyone ever have this issue ?

The bike is under warranty so it’s in the shop. This is the second time for the same issue

Thanks
