How many 03 and 04 RX1 and Warrior's USE OIL?

[welterracer]

my brothers RX warrior uses about 1/4 of a quart a year, while my apex uses very very little.. in twice as much time..

I believe it was the 03s that had the oil consumption problem..

 

[TonyVT]

my 03 uses NONE. all stock..

My 04 Warrior doesn't use any oil, about 4k miles on it, about 1K on the oil itself.

Oil Usage

My sons 04 Warrior and my 05 Warrior uses very little oil. Sons was bought used so I do not know how it was broken in but mine was broken in using WO bursts. Great Motors.................

oil usage

my 04 warrior uses about 1/2 quart a season about 2500 miles it has about 6300 miles i ride it like its stolen from day one mobile 1 after 1500 miles

Motoman way, turbo since new, 11,000 miles, burns 1/2 litre per 1000 miles. This is mostly due to throttle useage and long hard pulls.

my turbo Attak use no oil, but my wifes 03 RX1 is a pig on oil,, and let me telll you that sled is like new ,, only ridden hard when i use it,, funny just had that talk with a Yamaha tech,, and was saying early 03 had a ring issue, could do the rings but the amount my wife uses it i wont bother , just add the oil and deal with it..

Anybody try the stuff called "restore" it says specifically not for wet clutches but I can't remember if we determined if the RX's has them or not. It works great in cars though. From 500 miles a qt to back to 3000 on my beater car.

I have a early model 04. Do not know if that matters, but it uses the stuff! I factory broke broke in it and Quickly swithed to synthetic. It has 9000 miles, motor runs strong, just have to watch the level. I also notice that on a cold start she puffs with little choke. And running a couple hundred miles in a day the oil level is also down. Probably a combination of rings and valve seals. I have used Lucas in small amounts and that seemed to help on the packing trips. Never done a compression test to pin point why. Why fix what ain't broke. Not feeling like the Lone Rainger.
Dad has a 07 and uses none.

 

[03RX1-ER-LE]

12,000 miles on LE spring snow check early build, 1 pt in 1000 miles

 

[03RX1-ER-LE]

Wifes 03 with 5500 miles uses none, lucky I guess since both were purchased used this year. 9000 on the LE and 4000 on her 03-er
