So I did my oil change and cleaned the screens and replaced the oil filter. I poured in 1.6L of oil and that took it right to the full mark on the sight glass.
All is good right?
No, service manual says to warm up the engine to operating temp, shut off the engine and wait 1 minute and then check the level. Well that does not even register in the sight glass not even after sitting for 10 minutes. Added 0.1L to make 1.7L total and still nothing.
Yes the bike is level on a level surface. So what gives?
Add oil? Stay at 1.7L and go by the oil level when cold?
EDIT: Duke390 service manual says 1.6L of oil, RC390 owners manual says 1.7L. Might got add a tiny bit more and see if it shows up on the sight glass.
