RE: [ST] oil consumption

["Heyer, Matthew A." <mheyer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd have to agree with the dealer, just from my own personal experience.  I
haven't lost a drop of oil ever from the bike.  Maybe it's something that
occurs with the older engines (Pre '01?), or maybe just when the engine gets
really up there in mileage?

I just did a trip from Texas to Maryland and the bike guzzled about half a
quart of oil in 2,000 miles. It's the first time I notice any consumption
between oil changes. According to a Triumph dealer in Lynchburg (VA)  ST, RS
and Daytona usually don't show any appetite for oil. I'll keep an eye on it.
