The owners manual states that the oil level should be checked at "operating temperature" for accuracy. I checked the oil about 90 minutes after a 100 mile ride. The oil level was just below the min line and with only had 175 miles on the odometer. With the oil warm I would of thought the level should be at least half way between min & max.
I added about 150 ml and checked while hot. This time right at max line. I think this means the oil was not at max From dealer, but within proper limits. Also, the oil displays ( ---- ) which I believe mean the level may be high and I need to remove some of the oil.
Question is the oil level only accurate if we check the dipstick while hot, right after a riding (I.e., when refueling)?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
