Losing Oil

Gregger said:

It's interesting that some of the newer models seem to burn/use oil. I don't remember many fellows complaining about oil consumption on the 2300 version. I have never added a drop between oil changes or ever had the indication of oil consumption on the dipstick.

So, before heading out on a three day ride to VA/WV I topped it to just past the half-way mark. Back home after 600 miles, lots of twisties, no interstate, and it was down about 1/3 quart (showing 1/4 on stick). This is based on the assumption that it's a quart between the low and full line. At this rate I guess that I can expect to add at least a quart every 2,000 miles. I plan to contact Triumph Monday or early next week. I'm still puzzled that I've never seen smoke on startup or when going hard on the throttle. No leaks and the ends of the exhaust are just dry soot, not oily. I'm at just under 5,000 miles on the bike. Open to suggestions, theories, or ideas...
