Was in my back garden, nice and level, and on centre stand.Ah well, thanks all for your replies, I'm sure I'll be calling on your expertise in the near future again.Were you checking it with a warm engine (5 mins or so after switching off) or with a cold engine?You should normally check it when warm or you get a higher reading as all the oil drains out of the head etc.
Really?!?! I've always checked mine cold? When it's running there's no oil in the window? When it's off/cold I have it half way up the window, that's how I've always had every bike??
"Some one mentioned in this post that the 'Oil Light' does not work on a pressure switch but on a level switch, so I guess hard powering out of a corner will cause the oil to rush to the back of the engine as the front of the bike rises and the bike surges forward giving a false level reading"On a 600? Really?
Who gives a foc what happens on a 600. This is a 1000 link. .
