TowJam Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Quick sanity check: The oil level in the sight glass will be higher when the engine has not been warmed up yet. Correct? Link to comment
FIRST_BEEMER Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 If you run the motor first the level will be lower. Check it before you run it. Link to comment
SC_Jack Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 The level will be higher when the engine has cooled, provided that you had put the bike on the side stand for several minutes the last time that you rode it, for the hot oil to drain from the coolers down to the crankcase.

cjmkerns Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 The 1200RT doesn't seem to have the "oil retention problem" of the 1100's & 1150's. Give it ten minutes on the center stand and it shows you the oil it's got. Hot or Cold doesn't seem to make much difference on mine. Regards, Carl Link to comment
