Question XTZ tenere oil consumption

Hi i am a bit concerned about the oil consumption, at my first 500miles i took the bike back to the dealers as the dip stick did not reach the oil level. After the first service when i had a centre stand fitted i checked the oil level with a cold engine and it was mid way with a cold engine. I have just checked the level after 1000 miles and the oil does not touch the dip stick again! I topped up and found it took half a litre to bring it back to mid way with a cold engine. Is half a litre per 1000miles normal? the bike has done 1600 miles up to now.
