Breaking in a 2014

[Gordo]

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...ray: 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. :thumbup:

I've got 10,000 miles on 2 - 2014s and neither have used any oil.

I have 3300 on my 2014 and will be doing first service next week
My oil is still full I have not added any oil

The twins seemed to use a bit, between their oil changes...
Mine would go through about 12 oz of oil. :shocked: 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.:yes::2thumbs:

Thanks guys...That's what I was hoping for.

I actually had to add a little at about 2500, not quite half a quart. Mine is Cognaq, so maybe it likes to drink a little.
