200ml is just over half a can of soda - that really doesn't sound like much to me. But then my 95 TB has somewhere approaching 50K and I ride it fairly hard.

Thu/Friday - I rode 1200 miles on motorways at typical speeds of 75-85mph. The oil went from right at the top of the sightglass to a bit under the bottom of the sight glass - how much that is, I do not know 'cause I haven't topped it back up yet.

FYI - the oil breather tube runs from the left hand engine cover (the one that looks like an 8) up and into the airbox between the airfilter and the carbs (so it doesn't foul the filter). There is a second tube that runs down from the airbox to the rear suspension link which is intended to drain excess oil/petrol/water - it should have a stopper in it. Unstopper it and see how much comes out.
