Is this much Oil usage normal?

I watched the development of the Spyder from its first appearance in 2007. Knowing I would need another wheel sooner or later if I wanted to continue riding, I begrudgingly said goodbye to my Harley in 2014. I jumped on the Spyder after considerable research and the rest is history. Now, after ten years of closely watching, I've never known my 1330 to significantly burn any oil. I likely remove more oil than it uses when I check the oil level and wipe it off the dipstick.

"I likely remove more oil than it uses when I check the oil level and wipe it off the dipstick."
Lol! You're completely right. I go as far as not wiping the dipstick off on the the 2nd check. Every little bit helps.

Now that is the most excellent explanation I've ever heard. May I have permission to use it? I promise not to make it sound like I thought of it myself.
