    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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

Looking at the oil level window, I have observed that with the engine off, the oil level appears to be full. But, with the bike on, there is no oil visible in the window.

Does this sound right?

Thanks.

I assume when you say bike on you mean running. If this is the case then yes no oil should be visible in the sight glass when running. The oil is sitting in the sump when the engine is off. It is circulating when the engine is running
 
^^^ What he said.
When the engine is running you should not be able to check the oil, it is circulating through the engine and the clutch is splashing it on the sight glass so you can't see much anyhow.
 
Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks for your help, I guessed that was the case. Apparently, I like to worry.
 
On the 850, you're supposed to wait 60 seconds after the (warmed up) engine is turned off before you check the oil level in the sight glass. Don't know if this applies to the 650G or not, but I thought it might be worth mentioning.
