Need Help before my 600 mile Road trip this weekend
Ok guys, I did the search for oil change and got like 500 returns and most were for the word change. I called the dealer and asked them where the oil should be on the sight glass on the side. He said that when cold, I should see a line at least at the half way point, but higher is fine, as long as it can be seen. How ever when I started the bike and let it run, I noticed there was none visable in the sight glass. Is that normal, as I know that oil is circulating in the engine, and will be all over the engine? Just want to make sure before I make the trip from fort worth to san antoio. Plz share your info. Thanks.

Cody,
You're fine, I'd keep it at least 1/2 way up but make sure to give it time to drain down.
It is just circulating when running.
If you have a Power Commander make sure it's covered from any rain, don't ask me how I know. :-)
Ride safe and enjoy the trip.
