Sorry for the hyperbole. Had to think about it for a minute.
Far as getting to the dealer, before I go I need to document consumption or they won't honor the claim. I've got plenty of time (2.5 years of warranty) so no rush on it. Now I just have to watch the oil level much more closely.
I'm spoiled from my Suzuki's. They never use oil! :taz:

Please don't wait that long. If there is a problem, it's only going to get worse..
Plus, why should YOU pay to keep topping up the oil everytime you ride it. Oil is EXPENSIVE man !
If you rock into your dealer in 2 years time and say "its been burning oil for 3 years" , they may say you neglected to inform them in due time and made it worse. All tricks to wiggle out of warrenty payouts. I know as I used to work in a large multifranchise dealer. They're almost as heartless as insurance companies. |
