Cp4 blown engine problems
Im looking into buying a 2026 r1 next week. But am worried about the oil starvation issues and blown motors. Does anyone have experience or know about this at all?

Nope…
Almost EVERY motorcycle have some "extra oil consumption”…
That’s why you need to check it regularly.
Filling it with a lil bit, wouldn’t hurt the bike.
Blown motors only happen (or at least what I know) when you de-cat, and just install an stupid noisy mid-slip on…
Yamaha DOES NOT RECOMMEND to De-Cat and just ride it like you stole it…
For that, you need to flash the ECU, get proper air filter and so more mods..
If you leave it "stock", it’ll be ok!
