Hi,
I see that you enjoy this new BMW 1150 RT. I have the same model (Apr 04).
Regarding oil, I use mineral oil 20-50 Mobil. This is recomended by the agent. Fortunately, because it is cheap and surprisingly between two services, I must add at least 3 (three) liters of oil.

When I ask why this engine burning so much oil, nobody gave me an answer. When I check the spark plugs, they are normal. The exhaust has no witnesses of burn oil, etc. Very surprising.

So check regularly the oil level.

Have a nice day.
Alain




´m new to the group. I´ve had my ´04 1150RT for a little over a year. I picked it up used from a dealer w/ 12k and am passing through 22k now. It has taken me time to become accustom to the clunky shifting and rougher idles from previous 4 cyl bikes. Brought her up the coast this Spring w/ my oldest daughter and it handled -of course- beautifily. I´ve come to appreciate the nuances of the boxer engine and now have an ´03 1150R as well for shorter trips. What kind of oil are people using in their RT besides the BMW stuff?
