burning oil no more

I've read through the old threads that the R11S can take a while to break in and stop burning oil. Purchased my "04 BCR with 11K and up to about 20K, it routinely used 800 - 900 ml of oil per 1000 miles. Thought I would just have to learn to live with it and carry oil on extended trips.

Now at 25K having just completed back to back trips covering 4500 miles and barely used a drop - I'm pleasantly surprised. It will be nice to have the extra room in the side case now that I don't have to pack a couple of quarts
