    my bike (buell lightning 05 xb9) all the sudden started to sound clanky. i have done an oil change in the past month and have the crankcase breather mod. Today i took it around the block for the first time after it started sounding this way and my oil light came on?! took it back right away and looked in the spot it had been parked in for oil and there was nothing. there are no signs of a leak except the typical inspection cover seeping. the dipstick even reads at the fill line. where did my oil go? pls help me

    Did you drain oil from both holes and fill up both holes?
