I'm wondering if these engines will use/burn a 10W40 oil.
For the first 40000 miles on mine I always used Mobil 1 15W50 which is what the Triumph dealers all used when servicing it and it never used a drop. The handbook, however, recommends 10W40 which I always found strange.
Since the 40K mark I've been doing my own changes and have been using Castrol Racing4T 10W40 (because it's cheaper) and the bike has started using a bit. My bike's now done 50K and I'll be going back to Mobil1.
