    .

    you can be loosing oil through rings, valve seals or more obviously externally, gaskets. check your oil before you ride. unscrew the dip stick wipe it off and just stick it back in, dont screw it in. if you want to check it during a ride, a few minutes of the motor resting should give a close accurate reading

    The motor is supposed to be warm when you check your oil so ride it around for a few minutes. Most likely you are checking your oil when its at different temps so it seems like you are losing/gaining oil. It will read lower if the motor hasnt been started before you check it.
