Re:Burning Oil 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago

I'm not a bike expert but from experience with cars sounds like dealer may not have done good job honing cylinder walls when installing HC pistons/rings. Without good crosshatching the rings won't seal right.

But if it's the rings you would expect to see increase in pressure with a couple squirts of oil.

Coming out the breather does indicate blow by so I would question the leak down test. Leak down is more than just rechecking compression after adding oil. It's seeing how long it holds up. Have no idea what specs are for Road * let alone with HC pistons.
