Have changed / basic serviced stuff before but just done first oil filter change on my XT, having read the threads here getting a bit worried that I at 3 litres in and no register on dipstick. Have left overnight and no leaks.
Been filling the oil a bit at time so at a loss as to why I have no level registering.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Paul

Hi Rykers,

I'm presuming you checked the manual as you're a supporter, I had similar worries myself on the first oil change i did on my XTX as the manual said 2.5L and i needed 2.9L to register on the dipstick. Not sure if it's any help but check this thread http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=10719

DO NOT check it cold!!!!!!!!!!!! put the 2.5lts in then run the bike to get it hot NEVER NEVER check the oil from cold as it runs down into the frame and does not show on the dip stick!
Cheers BEAR.

2.5L, go for a short ride then top up to the correct level.
