              Make sure you are checking the oil level correctly.
              
 You need to run the engine for a few minutes or take it for a short ride then check the level.

         Yep.
         
        
 The oil in the XT motor drains down into the engine when the bike is stopped. So to correclty measure the oil you must first pump the oil back into the tank before measuring it, just as Pete suggested.
         
        
 It's all there in the owners manual.
