Bike is not smoking. As soon as you get off the machine all you can smell is burning oil. Capacity is only 1.7 liters. It's been doing it since day one. Even the break-in oil was getting consumed. There are no leaks from the engine except for some oil in the air box (small amount) and there is a few drops of oil dripping from the intake manifold boot to the throttle body.

The bike has consumed so much oil its crazy. I was going to perform a leak down test on the engine, but decided there is no reason to since the machine is covered under warranty. There is no question the engine is consuming the oil. I have lots of photos to prove that. Very interested to see how KTM takes care of the problem. Dropping the bike off after work.  ::)
