My 2010 doesn't use a drop.
However, when my old 1200 started using oil, I did a compression test and found cyl-1 down in cranking compression compared to the other cylinders, so, that was an excuse to pull the motor & have it turned into a 1500...

So riding today I noticed that the bike was shifting harder than normal. When I got home, I checked the oil and it was extremely low. This is the second time in the last 6 months that I have found this. It is parked in my garage and there is never any drops from the engine. Is this normal to burn through this much oil? I read other posts where people have never had to add oil. What gives?

How much did you have to add, and after how many miles?

Something is wrong.......I never had a bike that used oil!

My car has 271,000 miles on it and it doesn't use oil either!

Better check it out.

I nvr have to add oil.. Goes between changes just fine & going oon 57000miles too

The first time was after the recall work so they apparently did not add enough oil. I triple checked it today and it seems fine....great, so why would it be shifting so hard? I had to force it to upshift a couple of times yesterday. This is beginning to feel expensive.

I hope it's nothing major.

Maybe they screwed up when the removed and re-installed your clutch? If the clutch isn't disengaging completely you'll have all kinds of shifting problems.
