You didn't say the bike was leaving a large white cloud of smoke when riding so the only other reasonable alternative is compression getting past the piston rings is forcing the tranny oil out of the crankcase breather and onto the roadway. Please rate my answer. Thanks.
sounds like a problem i had with my v star if u can charge it and it starts and runs for a bit then dies again check the rectifier which charges the bike
If you look along the riders right side of the crankcase, under the water pump with the chrome elbow...you'll see a round window with 2 marks beside it.
Warm up the engine, **** down and let the oil drain back for a couple of minutes, then either place a block under the sidestand to get the bike upright...or have an assistant raise bike from sidestand and observe oil level...about 1/2 full is best.
On the riders left side of engine...near the front...find the fill cap for adding oil....now look directly below and you will find a round window on the side of the crankcase down low. Usually Yamaha has two marks on the crankcase beside the window for Min and Max oil level.
Usually half way between works best.
If you set your fuel petcock to "on" the bike will sputter when its low and you can switch over to reserve that has about another 1/2 gallon. I just set my trip meter and get gas about every 175 miles to be safe. 2007 VSTAR 1100 Classic.
