Hmm
It says that the oil level should be checked regularly and top up when necessary !
My previous bike it was using some oil like every 500 miles around 200-250 ml !!
We all speak from our experience here and not wasting time or given people wron advice . Anyway in my book a bike engine should use oil !

Sorry, but I seem to have missed your point completely. If an engine burns oil, that has nowt to do with it being lubricated properly. Unless of course it's a 2T.
Burning oil is, ultimately, undesirable in a 4T engine as it poisons the catalyst.
For the record, my 08 bike had its lungs exercised very early in its life and it has never used any oil.

I think that you are missing the point here !
I never mentioned burning oil ! Don't try to be clever here I am not a idiot , I think after 10 years off biking , 6 brand new bike's , I have a little experience and I know what I am talking about.
happy bunny looking forward to saturday...wor lasses ma and pa arrive same day ...think i'll be out playing with the new babe
Anyway i'd just like your advice on running in..read previous thread regarding same issue about running it in hard to cut its teeth
Whats the latest advice for you knowledgeable ones out there? cheers in advance
Why does it always have to be about the last bit power? I have run in two new 1200s and followed the book both times - the first bike I put 45,000 miles on with no serious issues and the second has now done 19,000 without problems too, so I suggest that doing it by the book works just fine.

So if it uses it and isn't burning it, where's it going?
But hey - I know nowt. I'm only an elderly, degree-qualified engineer that wrote a paper on lubrication. Came in handy for my 40+ years of motorcycling and 50-odd bikes...

So what happens if you do make an arse of running it it and it burns oil, is this a warranty issue or would they refuse?

If I remember correctly, there's a service spec. of so many km per litre and they might look at it if the oil consumption is more than that. Then again, they might not.....
