dallas is on a distinguished road
The most I did in one day was 800km and I had no oil consumption(this was after the replacement of the breather by the modified one). The speed varied from 110kmh to 130kmh(so between 4000 and 5000rpm). How do you check your oil? Ya know it's a special procedure with a thumper with seperate oiltank(=frame): warm it up, let it idle for a moment, hold it upright and check it with the dipstick not screwed in.
For the water, yeah well....
Greetz, Hans.

Note: I run an oiltemperature gauge, always warm the bike up to say 80C(while ridin') before revving it.
