Check your manual on this but I think the accepted oil consumption on the 690 is 1 liter per 1000miles. I think that's way too much even for the first few thousand miles. My engine was consuming oil too but just a little. I needed to rebuild the entire engine for another reason. I did all the work myself so I know the engine very well. The piston top was pretty much covered in a layer of carbon. Whether from the worn valve seals or rings I have no idea. But the bike did not smoke according to riders behind me over the 16K miles. During the rebuild I hand honed the barrel with a scratch pad in a semi-circular/downward motion. The top end got new rings and valve seals just because I was in there. I just completed the WABDR and over the 1100 miles it consumed 0.04 liters of 10w-60 Motul oil. Yes, I really did measure it after draining.
Why some engines consume so much is beyond my comprehension. Everyone does break-in differently. I'm sure KTM knows how to do it best. I just rode it normally. Cold engine/hot engine. Various RPMs, some on paved country roads, some on highways, more on dirt roads and single track. I will say that the for at least the early air-boxes they were prone to leak dirty air before filtration. I had to silicone seal the filter frame / airbox interface and I also grease the filter and make sure the airbox / throttle body clamp is firmly secured. Dirty air can ruin rings quickly.
