Author Message   Maverick9s Posted on Monday, May 17, 2004 - 01:11 pm:        Just finished my 500 mile break in. That was harder than I thought. I have been checking the engine oil level every gas fill up and have been noticing a little drop in fluid level every time. It finally fell into the ADD area. I am going to dump my oil and start fresh again since I am still on factory/dealer oil. My question is what is normal oil consumption for the first 500 miles or so on these XB's? I hope I didn't break her in wrong. Thanks!   Honu Posted on Monday, May 17, 2004 - 01:49 pm:        I had to add a couple of ounces during the 1000 mile period. Since that oil change I have not had to add any oil (2300 miles).   Wyckedflesh Posted on Monday, May 17, 2004 - 01:57 pm:        Same as Honu, going on 5750miles.   Captainplanet Posted on Monday, May 17, 2004 - 02:59 pm:        Mine too. After the first 1000 miles or so, mine quit using oil.   Darthane Posted on Monday, May 17, 2004 - 05:22 pm:        3000 miles of hard riding didn't use any oil on my Firebolt, nor has it at any time beyond break-in...sounds like business as usual to me.
