2014 103” 25k miles. Virtually none. Never add any between 3k mile oil changes, and never have seen a noticeable drop on the dip stick. And 75% of the time riding it pretty hard.

I have no idea whatsoever how accurate either of those statements are.

Harley issued a TSB saying that a quart in 1500 miles with the M8 is acceptable.. https://www.tsbsearch.com/Harley-Davidson/TT461

One-quarter quart every 5K. Stock breathers, I don't use a catch can or vent. Dino oil (synthetic burns more).

Never measured it but I would say about a quart every 5,000 miles. Heading out on a trip hear soon and will top it off before I go. 2019 Street Glide.
