Got my Rocket 3 Storm R 3 weeks ago - oil consumption...

[Dr.D]

I wouldn’t panic yet. The motor is just now circulating fluids well and could have been a tad under filled. I’ve got a few miles on my 2020 with no motor issues. Get it serviced and build relationship with the dealer. You have a full warranty so no big deal. I will follow.

Hope you are right! Looking at the figures I captured, when driving under 3000rpm up to 500kms it did not consume any oil, but when slowly increasing up to 4000rpm between 500kms to 950kms, it went from the middle of the zone to the Min.
If the Min Max zone is a quart (or a liter), that means that the engine will have consumed half a liter (500cc) of oil in 450kms!

Thanks for all your replies! Appreciated. Wait and see...

If you're concerned about burning the oil, pull a spark plug and check the electrode for carbon buildup. If none found, then it's not burning oil, most likely a leak or oil hung up in the galleys. The rings should have seated in the first 600 miles.

That's why I mentioned it, he's not even at 600 miles yet
