Honda dealer SOLUTION for engine oil burning on Africa Twin.

[@TimmyTookaLook]

Have same problem on my NT1100. Honda are aware of it but said they don't have a solution yet and to be patient. That was last week.😮

[@michsky46]

U in the US? I am waiting too. They will have solution, don’t be worried

[@michsky46]

Ps: at least they know why it digest the oil!!!

[@teodochi]

Cheers, mate! Did you solve the problem? If yes, how? Thank's!

[@michsky46]

Hey man, Sorry for late reply: well on 16,5k km they have changed the head of engine. They put 10w30 and problem was still there BUT now on 23026 km they did standart check and they have put 10W40 thicker oil! Wont celebrate yet i did 850km since but looks it didnt move at all. Will tell you when I do 1000km or 2000km more!! Hopefully the thicker oil will be the solution

Is there not enough weight over the front? I find the AT is a little too soft when loaded up with luggage... And a big, fat rider.

[@TimmyTookaLook]

The modification is the plate on top of engine where breather pipe comes out and goes to airbox. it's been modified inside and out takes about 3 hours so I'm led to believe. But it seems to be working .

[@michsky46]

Wait another 2000km and check than!!

Anyone know if the 2024 models that will soon be shipped to the US will have these new parts already in place?

[@michsky46]

No Idea, but new 2024 has some engine improvements ...normally yes bro

[@michsky46]

its AMERICA

[@danylefebvre7653]

Usually, there in no problems with Honda engines ??? May be, 90 hp are too much for this engine, less than 800 cc, take care because burning oil could be an issue with the catalyser !! i'm an old french biker from the south of France and i'm a race mecanicician, ride safe my friend

[@michsky46]

It has 105hp. Well normally this engine seems to have no issues! I know south of france, worked in Montpellier

[@wallacemjr]

is 1.100 cc

[@chrishonour1298]

Mines just started showing signs of low oil , choke coming on after a long ride quick stop and Choke is on only done 4 K from new in 4 months too 2023 bike

Hey, they have put me 10w40 now and seems after 850km it didnt burn anything. Will tell u more after I do like 1500km or 2500km more

I don’t know them at all!!! Part will be coming soon,…

[@michsky46]

Not agree at all, but you can have your opinion. I think the engines just became more complex

[@Jorge_Poco]

Update, in Portugal Honda they already collected a week ago colleagues's motorcycle where the engine valve cover was replaced. Theres a new version of the part!

[@michsky46]

Nice, they told me the same, waiting mine. No idea when yet, but they promised. How is it going with new part????? Any info?

[@michsky46]

Count, mine every 1500km takes 400-600ml of oil

[@Jorge_Poco]

@@michsky46 for now no feedback...

[@michsky46]

@@Jorge_Poco let me know when he says something. Most probably They will have my part soon too!

[@Jorge_Poco]

@@michsky46 2 motorcycles have already been replaced, one of them had a huge consumption of around 500ml every 1000km and started to consume 0 after replacing the engine cover...

[@TimmyTookaLook]

My NT1100 has had the modification for the oil consumption issues. Mine is 1 of the first to be done and was using about 1/4 liter every 1000 miles. I did 200 miles today and it feels so different, crisper throttle even sounds different now the spark plugs aren't getting fouled. It didn't have anything in rear drain from air box when i got back and looked like it hadn't used a drop of oil 😊.

[@michsky46]

They change some piece on my engine and it doesnt work

[@michsky46]

Now they have put me 10w40 and seems after 850km it didnt burn anything. Is thicker oil!!! Will tell u more after like 2000km!!! Hopefully is the oil

[@Jorge_Poco]

News? Updates? Tanks

[@michsky46]

Nothing atm

[@michsky46]

yes, Honda said that according to compression test done by them, the inner parts of engineer fine because they gave positive numbers very good numbers and it said they told me they will not do anything that is fine and dealer. Just change the oil from 1030 to 10 W40 and with this oil after 880 km. There was no oil consumption and there is as well no oil in the breeders and looks all around very thick oil that

[@Jorge_Poco]

Good news! Tanks

[@dustinjennings9473]

I burned over 450ml in only 4000km, I might have to bring it in then

[@michsky46]

You should

[@michsky46]

I burn same amount in 1500km.. even in your case is bad!!!!

[@grissle8547]

Mate, I think the only fix for your oil burning problem is to sell the A.T, & get yourself a ever reliable Suzuki DR650 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣good luck with it all, Hope ya get it sorted.

[@michsky46]

Its underpowered and old. AT is reliable machine otherwise

And more, way before suzuki I would go for tenere

Fuck sake, noticed it at 6k oil change but blamed on new engine, but added another liter in 3k km. it seams that Honda fucks up…the TFT is shit as well

Tft is fine, the oil consumptio they will sort for u, they change some engine part and done

[@Radu_s]

@@michsky46 actually tft is not fine as touch screen not working at low temperatures and this adds to a oil burning engine for 20k bike it s pretty shitty to try to convince the dealership to replace part.

[@trkyuksel]

If notches in piston rings align, you might have a slight compression problem. It does not burn that much oil. Check your airbox. If it is covered with oil, tell the dealer to check the compression. Usually some oil is there, but it shouldn't have too much oil. If you have friends in automotive dealers, ask them for a Borescope Camera. Take the spark plugs from the engine (the ones on the side of the engine are OK) and stick the borescope inside the spark plug whole (check each cylinder) to see inside the engine. If you have scratches inside, that is the problem. And it is serious... If there are scratches, tell your dealer to change the motorcycle under warranty. If not, then listen to your dealer but change your oil to Putoline 10W 30 %100 synthetic. Make sure to disable cathelitic convertor. Cut the exhaust and take out the CAT. Since your motorcycle is burning oil, some of the un-burned oil might have gone to your exhaust system. If that happens, your CAT is most probably clogged. That has severe side effects on piston rings and on your engine in the long run. It starts with slight engine power loss, then power loss worsens until it is too late.

[@michsky46]

Hi, Well the scratches not necessarily a problem - (engine cylinder honing) if the scratches are crossed its normal. And the rest will do the dealer under warranty anyway. They told me is a Crank shaft ventilation problem and is vaporising the oil into airbox and burn!!!
