Treachery

Okay, with the exception of Jezer, who I hope will chime in here, none of us have the bike yet. Was looking through a blurb I got from the dealer and noticed that the 390 engine is a dry sump design. I suspect that it's different from old Triumphs and all Harleys that have a separate oil tank/reservoir. I had an Aprilia Mille that I believe was dry sump, and what that really meant (to me) was that all the oil was in circulation when the engine was running, with a 100% scavenging pump, as opposed to falling to the sump to be picked up from a (sloshing) reservoir. I suspect that the 390 works like that. Can anyone with other KTM experience (and/or Dr. Jezer) enlighten me? BTW, on the Aprilia, there was an oil sight tube that was used to check oil level. How does it work on this one?
Many thanks!
