Breaking in a 2014
Hi all, I was wondering if the 1330 engine uses any oil during the break in period up to the first oil change. I realize that not all will be the same but in general do they use oil during this time. Due to the late spring happening here it looks like I'll be on a planned road trip and need my first service away from my dealer. I guess what I need to know is did those of you who have the first service done already have to add oil during the break in. My bike is supposed arrive mid month... Thanks

I have 1500 miles on mine and have had to add no oil so far.

So far, (And it's really too early to tell for sure...), it appears that the Trile will not be using as much oil between changes as the Vee-Twins do.

The twins seemed to use a bit, between their oil changes...
Mine would go through about 12 oz of oil. by the time I had 2,500 miles added on.

I just had my first service with 925 miles on the clock I like to change my oil and filter on a new motor between 600 and 1000 miles just to get the junk out of the motor, very cheap insurance.
