Wow! That’s a good one. Have you checked you plugs to see if there is an indication of oil there? If you had bad valve seals, or bad enough that is, you should get smoking out of the exhaust when you first start the engine. The oil will collect in the cylinder or around the valve head if it’s closed, and burn off at start up, after which you probably wouldn’t notice it. A buddy of mine had a seal missing on one of his valve cover hold down bolts. It made a huge mess out of both his bike and garage floor, but it sounds like your not having oil collecting in your fairing anywhere. Is there anything collecting under your bike after it sits over night? If it’s not burning it there must be a leak.
