I keep my oil at the "add" line and it doesn't drop between changes. Bike broken in by Mototune method.

When I first got my '10 I tried keeping it full, but just ended up filling my air cleaner with oil. Now my filters see far less engine oil, and my oil level doesn't drop.

** UPDATE 2**
I've had the bike back about two weeks now. No more rattle on cold start up, no more oil loss, and no more nasty black crud on the back of the bags.

This is what was done: 21963-07 Piston and Rig kit .005 OS, Gasket Kit/Top End 17052-99C, OE Cylinders Bored .005 OS.

Bike runs nice and smooth now. It was a long process, and hopefully this is the end of it.

Well, it took 'em long enough but I'm glad you got the issue resolved on their dime. Congrats.
