R9T - Oil Consumption - Advice Please....

The oilhead engines can use oil when revved. My 1200RT would use oil when thrashed up and down the mountains all day on holiday, but did not use much when ridden conservatively.

I think the dealer is doing the right thing.

Exactly the same with my 1200GSA TC, at home never need to top up between services, when away and it’s being ridden hard all day every day I usually have to add 500ml at around the 3,000 miles into the trip. I would add though that if you can see oil in the sight glass it’s fine. Also check it when the bike is cold and the oil has re-entered the sump from the oil cooler. Easy to overfill if you don’t give it time to settle.
