im getting bug bike pipes on mine as soon as my warranty expires and the guys at the dyno centre reckon the same thing more power and better fuel consumption .

The Dyno center in Ottawa just has tyrannosauruses, brontos, and the like. I hear the one in Toronto has Raptors. LOL

My 2014 Roadster has no oil spray from the exhaust that i can see. It seems strange the new bikes do.

has your dealership ever measured the amount of oil that comes out when you take it to them? Since they are aware and do this for you i was thinking they would have but its not in the thread how much oil comes out when they do oul change or i missed that after reading all or so i thought i read through
good.

Just found this thread through an outside Google search. I'm having the same issue- a quart in 3,000 miles.
@JPHDT any new developments? Did you approach Triumph about this?
There's another thread that's gone cold where the oil pump was missing a seal that I believe the dealer covered.

My first/last oil change took a little more (half quart, maybe) than specified to get it to the midway mark on the stick, which I thought was curious. Not sure if we're burning oil or it has to do with the pump somehow.
I plan to do another change in the next few days and will measure how much comes out. I'll report back here and/or at the link above.
My Lush improved 2011 Roadster with 68,000 miles uses far less oil than this....

Brand new Rocket 3 burning oil issue
Just purchase a brand new 2020 Rocket 3R March 30th 2021. A week later noticed that when you load the engine a little it would hesitate. But nothing prepared when I noticed these huge blue puff of smoke behind me when you would load the engine ever so slightly. In the video I attached, notice i...

Losing Oil
I'm down a full quart since the last (first) oil change. I changed the oil at 600 miles and checked it every so often at first. Seemed OK, then this morning, 3,000 miles later it's down a quart. WTF? There's another post here where someone had an oil issue. They said... "Yesterday the dealer...

I loose a quart or two between 10,000 mile oil changes. I get a couple of drops of oil splatter on the lower exhaust pipe too. Bike makes me grin from ear to ear, runs great, makes no smoke, so I'm not really worried about it.

Please see attached my oil consumption with is a bit higher than 1 quarter per 3 thousands miles. I never had this with any previous bike or car. (Sometimes the Rocket generates a blue smoke when I start the bike with cold engine).
Asking about to Triumph through my dealership (who sold and did the maintenance to my previous R3 2.3), Triumph will not do anything as they consider that the engine could need as far as 1.7 quarter per 1 000 miles ! I will not add any comment about that as I am French and it could be considered as English bashing.
