    Hey Guys,

    Well for a few days i have been trying to figure out how to actually read the oil inspection, glass window...

    When i peek into mine i see a lubricated cog or something. Should i physically see an oil level? What id imagine i should see would be a circle (the window) and then say that circle being filled lets say half way for arguments sake. Would i be correct in that assumption?

    Does anyone know how much oil these badboys take? When i got it i looked in the inspection window and could not see this clear and visible line that i imagined, so i assumed i needed to put some more oil in, to which i put in about 800mm and still i sore no line on this glass window so i assumed that the way i imagined the glass window to work was incorrect.

    I figured if 800mm didnt show a line then i didnt want to go putting in too much more since there most likely would have already been oil in the bike! Then i thought about how much oil my car uses and tried to create a engine size/L of oil hehe.. and anyway a long story short that equation ended up meaning the bike would take about .2L haha so i knew that wasnt right.. I have searched around this forum for oil specs but couldnt find a whole heap on it..

    once again fellas and ladies, any help much appreciated

    Thanks

    JB.

    If you hold the bike upright you should see oil halfway up in the glass
