ok

after a 100k run today i noticed it dropped to the bottom of that large flat section......maybe even a bit below.

bike has about 200k now on it...........change oil light did come on today aswell so will be doing that tommorow....

Is it normal for a new machine to burn or loose a bit of oil like that during break in?
