I've just changed the oild (2nd time) in my new-to-me '01 kdx200. Each time it took only 500ml of oil to fill it up to the top sight line. Is the sight window off?
When I drained the oil, I let the bike sit perfectly veritcal for a good 30 minutes while draining. I used tie-downs to keep the bike from falling over.
I measured out 500 ml. of oil, dumped it in, let it sit for 10 minutes, and the oil is at the top sight mark already. Is it possible that some left-over oil (about 200ml) is still in the transmission? I don't want to over fill, but I certain don't want to have too little oil.
Is this everyone's experience?
