during the first 1000 miles, could the new engine burn oil and the oil level needs to be checked often? Thanks.
 
Probably shouldn't need it. That being said after forty + years of riding I check my oil and tires everytime I ride mine being a daily rider....
 
Checking oil and tires and giving the bike a once over should be done just like putting on the helment each time you ride. JMO: :bigsmiley28:
 
Really? so far, I've checked mabye once a week, both oil and tires , and I do ride, short distance though daily and longer on weekend. I do check before longer trips but though daily check was over-doing it.
 
When I break in a new bike I change oil at 500 and again at 1000 miles before going in for dealer service I like to dump the trans and primary at 500 and 1000 its all about initial wear and tear and dont be surprised if the fluid levels are not correct when u pick up a new bike it happened to me in 2002 so I always check good luck
