There was a recall and the problem was said to be fixed but it has only been an improvement !

Hello,
I am aware of this oil consumption issue in the 2008 fireblades.
The fireblades in India are 2009 version and so none of them have this issue.
I have checked the oil level in my fireblade for almost seven thousand kilometers now, and there has never been any substantial drop in the oil level.
So I guess this problem is a thing of the past and was only related to a particular batch of 2008 fireblades..
btw, amazing collection of pictures you got there ... we can just dream of such roads and conditions in India ....
