You have the 1330 in the F-3, the OP has the 990. On my '10 RTSI kept the oil level about half way between the add and the full line after a ride.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
How much oil do you use?

It's a curious thing the term "tolerances" in engines.
Honing is a process used to finish the bore of a cylinder to remove any ridges after the bore has been performed.
Usually honing is used to bring the bore to it's final measurement. It creates a uniform light cross hazing on the bore. Once the engine is assembled and put into service all of these components, pistons, rings and oil and cylinders valves and guides, bearings and a multitude more start to "bond". The rings need to bed in and in the process wear to the shape of the wall of the cylinder. Of course other components in the engine in contact with oil will also have a bearing on oil use at this time. During this running in time it is not unusual for engines to use oil.
This groovy process can take 10,000 miles or more before they are fully bedded in! How you ride or drive can also have an effect on the length of time before the engine is there.

From page 111 of your operator's guide it says the amount of oil to be added to raise the level from the Add mark to the the upper mark, F, is 0.5qt or 500ml. It also says that if the level is near the upper, F mark, do not add oil.
