i think they meant when the bike is standing straight up on two wheels like as if you were riding not when it is leaned over on the kick stand

no he actually said when its on the kickstand. i asked him what he meant exactly and he said the bike should be on the kickstand and fill oil to the top of glass. but i put in 6 quarts and it was barely to the top of the glass on the kickstand. standing upright my oil level is just about a half inch over the top of the glass.. is that bad? the bike was 100% dry also. new engine i just bought.

Dump a little more than a qt. out and you will be fine...

+1 manual calls for 3.9qts....more than 4.5qts and all it takes is a wheelie for fouled plugs and an air box full of oil...i'd definitely run 4.5 to stunt 4 for street

no your good i run about a half of a quart over..

jordanv3122 · 05-10-2008, 07:44 PM

its at the top of the glass standing straight up. on the kickstand you cant see it in the window at all.

nomad · 05-10-2008, 11:36 PM

forget that whole on the kickstand thing cause that is completely inaccurate. what if your kickstand is bent? like most people said, put in @4-4 1/2 qts and thats it.

EZEC · 05-10-2008, 11:39 PM

there are some things you just shouldn't post...

zride · 05-11-2008, 12:12 AM

top of the window with the bike standing straight...not tilted over on its kickstand.

BiLLyThaKidd · 05-11-2008, 04:36 PM

lol i got a good laugh outta this one

there trying to tell you right hold the bike stright up and down the oil should come up half way.... thats 3.5wet.. 4.0 dry.. you dont need to add extra oil yet becuse if your asking this qustion you cant starve the engine yet......

jordanv3122 · 05-11-2008, 06:45 PM

i know what im doin i starved my gsxr and it spun a bearing last year. that taught me that i should run extra half quart or so. i bought this 900 from mark petrizzo of team risk in conn. and he said fill the oil to top of glass while on kickstand. that took a whole 6 quarts so i questioned that and asked on here. then i rode for 30 minutes and noticed a crack on top of clutch that leaked a lil bit of oil. after i parked i saw where it dripped from and JB welded it. i have it now to where the bike is on kickstand it barely shows on window but standing straight up it is about a cm or so above the window (basically right at top of window). i have it all figured out please dont keep posting in here to tell me i dont know what im doing. it was a new motor with 6k on it that i just put in so maybe that could be why it took a bit more oil. i have it figured out i dont need any help anymore thanks tho guys.
