    it will use a little when its still "bedding" in, how are you riding your bike? i rode mine hard when i got it (dont let it "labour") and it dosnt use any oil at all.

    I change oil and filter at 500 klm on a new motor ( just a habit from racing ) whats your plugs colour ?? are you loading the motor up i.e.: few hills to bed the rings in as I've seen glazed bores in as little as 1000klm on a fresh engine

    they use a dry sump oiling system, so when parked for a bit the oil can sometimes run back down into the motor from the oil tank.
