I've just had a read on the web, and it would appear that these bikes are notorious oil drinkers. One guy had similar problems, took the bike back to the dealer who promptly changed the piston rings under warrenty. If yours is new, I'd complain to the dealer. A litre every 1000 miles is a major leak in my books.

Gonna give them a call and see what they have to say...
