Ah yes....I've come across that one before! There's been a lot o discussion over the years on the BMW motorbike forums about the correct running in of the oil head engines. They can have a reputation for burning oil until around 15 - 20,000 miles when they bed in! The general consensus is that too gentle running in does not bed in the pistons, rings and cylinders and ends up glazing them.
