Anyone else going through oil on their 1299 also? I swear I added 200ml the other day and within 500 miles its back to a lower level
 
Not a drop in over 6,000 miles now. My S1000RR almost used none at all as well, but my 1299 literally hasn't needed a single drop so far.

Cheers.
 
Nothing here, mine did smoke a bit at start up during the first 300 Kms of break in.
 
while I love the sweet, sweet bubblegum smell of Motul 300V, with bikes I tend to use whatever is specified by the manufacturer. I get far more flexible with motors I've had built from the block up, because I know what the bearing clearances are.
 
I bought my 1199 new last year, the oil drain plug was loose noticed it after 750 miles while changing my exhaust. Came that way from dealer, found out there tech was brand new.
 
What's the deal with wheelies & oil on 1299's?

I've heard it causes oil starvation if you're keeping it in the air for prolonged periods of time?
 
My 1299S has now 4800 Km
I drove a 3200km long distance trip from south Germany to Austria Italy France and back
Very seldom i go over 6000rpm - my normal range is 2500 to 4500

The consuption is at 0,11l/1000Km
 
7077 km and 500ml of oil used. Made a change with 6000 km to Fuchs Titan Race Pro R 15W-50.

In european forums people often discuss about 0,2-0,3l/1000Km

There are ones that gave full throttle and high rpm on the first 1000Km
they have continiously 0,5-0,6l/1000Km

I think the consumption depends on your driving style
0,25L/1000Km for a sporty driver should be the limit of a healthy engine
 
My 1199 has been eating oil- and just since someone mentioned a beemer- my buddies s1000rr eats oil too. I checked mine after a week weeks and it was just under the site glass. added a tiny bit and went right back up. no biggie i just watch it.
