Check your oil

[DCRC8R]

I had to add some before the first service and 500 miles after first service. Added about 8/10 of a liter to top it off. That was at about 1300 miles or so. As the motor breaks in it does use a bit of oil. So far no prolems or issues. Past Aprilias or Ducatis always had clutch or rear brake problems or stalling for no real reason. I never trusted any of them to go too far from home. Oh and the prillers had stator problems too.

yeah, I know about those problems coming from past aprilias. LOL. my stator was starting to weaken (output) at 25k miles.....

I've got about 1500 miles on my 2011 RC8R, changed oil at 600 miles and have had to add about a half a quart so far since the oil change.
