<!--quoteo(post=15262:date=Wed 30th Aug 2006, 08:24 PM:name=Jez)-->QUOTE(Jez @ Wed 30th Aug 2006, 08:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Thanks to you all for your help. I can now keep an eye on it in a regular procedure on a regular basis. [Image: good.gif]

Another thing 'though: Why is it necessary to check when it has just been run? With a wet sump bike you let the oil drain down into the crankcase for a little while before checking to ensure the engine is not overfilled.

Is it true to say that on a dry sump bike all is ok as long as there is some in the oil tank (effectively a header) when warm?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
just wondering if i check my oil level with a dipstick does this make an 03 a mk1
