Oil consumption issue in 390 Adventure 2025

I have a few questions regarding the engine oil consumption issue in the KTM 390 Adventure 2025:

  1. ⁠Currently, my bike is consuming around 250 ml of engine oil per 1000 km.
    Is this consumption likely to remain stable over time, or can it increase as the engine ages?

  2. ⁠If I consistently monitor and top up the engine oil to maintain the recommended level:
    Will the engine longevity remain comparable to a bike that does not have any oil consumption issue?

  3. ⁠What are the long-term implications of this oil consumption?
    Can it significantly reduce engine life or lead to major engine damage over time ?

  4. ⁠Are there any preventive measures or riding practices that can help reduce oil consumption?

  5. ⁠Can prolonged oil consumption issues affect other components like the catalytic converter, spark plug, or exhaust system?
