Right front of the engine is the dip stick. Check for online manuals. Manuals lib is free.

Your oil pan where you normally drain the oil when changing it IS the crankcase. I would also drain any gas from the fuel tank(s) and put fresh gas in it, and you will probably need a new battery.

SOURCE: instrument gauges are reading not accurate. oil

This model always this problem, usually after about 90,000 miles and the other instruments will eventually follow. There are companies that will repair this for you just use google (instrumentclusters.com) to find them. I was charged 185.00 for the repair... GM wanted over 500.00!

Hello if you had the fuel tank off make sure you did not hook up the vacuum line to the fuel outlet and fuel line to the center fuel petcock vacuum connection

SOURCE: sump oil

You can run Motor Oil in the Tranny or we run Automatic Transmission Oil in ours and we change it alot. We also run Lucas 2 Stroke Oil at 40:1. We run our Banshee and Yamaha Dirt Bikes on that also. Hope this helps.

How do i check oil on rieju marathon 450
Should be a dipstick up in front of the fuel
tank. These have oil in the frame and use
a dry sump oiling system. Run it for
a few minutes then check. Only holds about
1 litre of oil total so don't overfill.
It will only show oil on the dipstick after
running a bit as the oil needs to be pumped around
the system to be accurate on dipstick reading.

Yamaha oil
oil is going into crankcase. it should have a return and a check valve to keep the oil in the tank until it is under demand. more than likely the check is failing due to sitting for 10 years. clean the system and purge the pump. replace the check valve. its like $10 from a local dealer.

Yamaha MT03 - shorting / or loss of power
Sparking due too loose fitting of the negative terminal to the chassis. Check all ground points of the wiring harness. The anchoring screw may be loose.

Just bought it used. no owner's manual. how do i check the oil level?
Here is the most accurate way to check the oil on your R-RT.

Ride bike till it is fully warmed up - 10 minutes
Park bike on side stand for 10 minutes or longer.... overnight.
Put bike on center stand and look at oil level window on lower left side of engine. Oil level should be inside the red circle. Do not overfill!!

The absolute best time to check the oil is when the engine is cold and all oil has drained out of oil cooler and lines into the engine sump. Usually before riding... Once properly broken in, your engine will consume very little oil.

How much oil does the gearbox take
Probably one or one and one-half quarts. What ever it takes to indicate proper level on the dip stick. Do not over fill your motorcycle with oil.

Do i run the motor before pulling the dipstick on my yz450f
If we are talking about a 2004 YZ450F, you should always run the engine before taking an accurate dipstick check. This is a dry sump engine with the oil stored in the frame. The dipstick is located up high on the frame. You are not checking the oil level in the crankcase as the "Best Solution" dipstick suggested. In theory the oil is held up in thank when the engine is not running. However, most all of them have a tendency to have oil seep/leak out of the frame reservoir down into the crankcase. There is a check ball in the right crankcase cover that usually leaks if the engine has any hours on it at all. The dipstick up on the frame rarely reads accurate unless you have started the engine and let the oil pump circulate oil back up into the frame where it can be measured on the dipstick. Any mechanic who has had hands on experience knows this. The same is true for owners of dry sump XR's and Harleys, who all know to run the engine before final oil check. If you are going to to answer a tech question you need to have some experience with that model instead of your XR80.

Losing Oil in a 2000 Kawasaki ZR-750
make sure when you check the oil that the bike has been sitting on the centre stand for about twenty minutes or so before you check it as there is still alot of oil in the cylinder head and oil coolers etc,sitting the bike will let the oil drain back to the sump and give you a correct reading,try this and see how you go,hope this helps

Oil overfill
I topped the oil up after checking the oil level with the bike OFF the main stand and being held upright by my mate (as advised by the bike shop). Upon next taking the bike out it would barely do 60MPH (there was no oil/smoke coming out of either exhaust can) so I turned round and headed home a round trip of about 15 miles. As I had only topped up the oil and the bike was running fine before this, I decided to drain the oil and put some new in (this time measuring the 3.4L) is says it holds on the side of the engine. Allowing for some oil always to remain in the sump I got 3.0L in (but about 6.0L out)!! Bike now runs fine. However, will I have damaged the engine in the process? I've checked the airbox but there's no oil in there (relief) and the spark plugs are not 'gummed' up. Thanks in anticipation.,i dont think so. im assuming your crankcase vent routes to your airbox, as with the bies ive seen. hopefully someone else will come along and verify or correct me.,,,
