Oil in stator cover

[nhgsguy]

I changed my countershaft sprocket.After that change I took the stator cover off.All of the engine oil came out.What will I need to do to fix the problem?

What problem?

Nothing to worry about brother, the stator is bathed in engine oil by design. Some folks drain the oil before pulling the cover, some just lean the bike against a wall to prevent most of the oil from coming out, and some folks get a surprise when they crack the cover off

Thanks for your reply.Iam new to the GS1000 and did not know that oil is suppose to be in the stator cover.My jaw dropped when oil came pouring out of the engine.

I had mine on the side stand, even leaning towards the stator, and only about half quart came out. later the bike was leaned over a little further than the side stand and a whole lot more came out and made a big mess because I was not ready for it. Next time, all the oil comes out first, for me.
