    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil level after bike has started?

Just started my baby for the first time.

However, I checked the oil level and it just drops to nothing once the engine is running. If I stop the engine, the oil level returns to between low and full (I also added some oil after I noticed this). Is this normal operation, as a result of the oil pump, or is my engine drinking oil? I can't find any leaks for the life of me (save my air filter, which I didn't squeeze out enough and the airbox is not perfectly sealed).

Thanks in advance, everyone!
 
I think I'd worry if you still saw a level of oil in the sight glass after the bike was running.
Congrats on getting it on the road!!
 
That's normal. when the bike is running that oil is being splashed about all over the place and needs a moment or 2 to settle when the motor is stopped.
 
The procedure for checking oil is to warm the oil a bit, then let it sit for a few minutes, then check the level in the window.

As hampshirehog said, when the engine is running, there is oil EVERYWHERE except in the window. :eek:
