I just did all the above instructions but it seems my bike needs...3 litres of oil!!! And still the dipstick shows no oil...what's the catch?

I've verified everything for leaks...I have none. I'm a bit scared to add more but...clean dipstick tell me so. What to do?

Later edit: I started the bike, rode it for 10 mins then I let it cool down for 1 h and now the dipstick all the way up filled with oil!!! So, I took out 400 ml of oil out of the total of 3l thus reaching the indicated 2,6 litres. But...still the dipstick is filled with oil so now it seems that I have too much.

Something is wrong here....nevertheless I just let it be this way and then ride it for 250 kms. Everything ok until now...

Tip for draining the frame tube tank from another inmate on ADV.

One plastic soft drink bottle.
Hole through the side and out the other side towards the bottom, just big enough for socket and extension arm to pass through.
Place bottle over socket and extension arm and push socket onto drain bolt.
Holding plastic bottle upside down and pushed up to the drain bolt, undo drain bolt.
Oil spurts into plastic bottle and runs out the bottom into container.
Sorted.
Do you really need pics?
Pix always are nice, even if this is self explanatory. Are the pics posted up on Advrider?

How long is your dipstick? I know that sounds a bit odd but when I took my Tenere to the local Yahama dealer for a head bearing replacement last year they told me there was a 'recall' on it for the dipstick. It turned out the dipstick fitted was too short so they fitted a longer one. The new one has a 'probe' part that is about 3 inches long (I'm not going out in the dark to actually measure it though).

Mine doesn't even reach the oil when the tank is full :o

I drain the oil as thoroughly as possible and pour in 2.8L (1.7 then 1.1), and leave it at that. Generally it shows 'full' after a ride, but it can be random, so as long as it's well up the dipstick, I don't worry. Over the years I've owned four dry sump Yamahas and a couple of Hondas, and they've all been the same.

Checking oil after a bike has been run on the sidestand will always result in a wrong reading imo. Ideally, a dry sump bike should have its oil checked at the end of a ride, I believe.
