I have a 93 kdx200 that has just been completly rebuilt (new bearings, rod, seals, gaskets, piston& rings, clutch). I put 800cc of oil in the tranny like it says but I can't see any oil in the sight glass, what should I do? Thanks

Is it over full? Tip the bike way oversideways to see.
Go to www.frpoffroad.com
and ask if it is OK to overfill your bike. I know that Jeff Fredette recommends overfilling KDX's but I don't know what model years.

Oil fill after a complete tear down is going to take more than an oil change.

The clutch plates were soaked as per instructions, right? (doesn't have anything to do with your question...but I like to add a little complete off-topic, unasked for opinion......;) )

Add oil until it shows for sure. It's not going to magically disappear somewheres. Well...unless there is something really really wrong (as opposed to just plain old 'really wrong').

Cheers!
