My 2017 (March) R1200GSA is burning engine oil.
It was bought new and I ran it in (no different than plenty of other new bikes I've owned in the past). So the running in procedure was, in my opinion, done correctly.
However, I've used around 500ml of engine oil in the past 5,500 miles. No leaks. Bike is clean as a whistle.
Does that sound normal for this bike, when ridden sympathetically hard.
I don't abuse the bike, but I do rev it through the range regularly.
Just wondered, as I have no experience of this engine before.
