How do you break your bikes in from new? So many BMW boxers have oil burning issues as well and yet mine never used a drop of oil in 35,000kms. I use this method...
New Motorcycle Check list, Break in
I think a lot of riders with oil burning issues are the by the book, baby it riders and those motors just never "seat". I'm not a ride it like you stole it kind of guy either, but that first breakin is critical and if you do it by the book, you're never going to get it broken in properly.
