Leave it outside for the meth ppl to steal it? and chrash and burn?
Yes, sounds like the engine is “wet sumping” and you are not doing the correct procedure for checking the oil.
Or you have meth heads siphoning out your oil.
Run the engine, get it up to operating temp, THEN check the oil level.
I smell a case split and rebuild, sad but true. This is a bike i have not got to ride yet. Bought in in october 21 and when i tried to check oil this spring it was nothing on the dipstick.

What would make you think this??Originally Posted by DieterVonCunth
How do you know that? If you are draining and re-filling... it's the SAME container that holds the dipstick.
You are assuming a case split because you can't check the oil? Oh lord...
So many questions.
Are you checking it warm, after riding, while its on the side stand like the manual says too? RTFM.
I tried that, did not help.Hot or cold, no oil on dipstick. i know that there is enough oil in the bike ,but wtf is this?

Then check to make sure the hoses aren’t kinked or blocked. There should be a plug on the bottom of the engine case that will let you drain the oil from the case.
Have you put oil in the swing arm since you got the bike in October?
Have you tried leaving the dipstick out while the bike is running? You should see oil circulating in the swing arm.
Does the oil pressure light go off after the engine is running?
Oil pressure light goes out when the bike start, bike got 2,4 litres of oil in it, if i add more the oil foams and pour out of the swingarm.
Adding more oil is a dumb thing to do and VERY bad for the engine. How is it pouring out of the same hole you say the dipstick is dry
Do what Outlaw said and don't assume you know how. RTFM and follow EVERY step. If your engine is wet pumping this is important and why the manual is written this way.
If the oil pressure light goes out when running, you have oil pressure. Since you have dicked around with the oil level all willy nilly, now you have to drain it all and add back the EXACT amount the manual recommends. Then you are done because you can't figure out a dipstick.
Man, I go away for a short time and this is what happens??
