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! |

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). |

Mine too. After the first 1000 miles or so, mine quit using oil. |

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. |
