Anyone know about Yamaha oil problems?

So, I have proved myself to be a proper chick (damn) - I went to pick up some spares from yamaha on Saturday and they heard me from the road with my clattering engine.    :peepwall:

Seems as though me having put in oil twice over the last 12 000kms is not enough and I ran my engine dry of oil.  Obviously the possible repocussions are astronomical, but it seems as though I am going to get away with top and bottom end bearings (fingers still crossed)!

My question is - is this normal?  They put in 3 and a half litres of oil at Yamaha on Saturday.  At 12 000kms, should your engine be running on that much oil, or is there possibly a fault?

Any idea?
