I just changed the oil and filter for the first time on my 2002 Raptor and put just a little over 2 qts in it. I let it run for a few minutes, turn it off and let it sit, then check the oil and it shows empty, doesn't even register on the dipstick. Started it again for a min. and it still is not showing up. all the oil is still in there, no leaks and the plugs are all in and tight, so do I have to wait and ride it before i can check it or is there a problem with somehing????? Let me know fast, I wanna ride, its nice out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I had a DRZ and it was dryt sump too, but I could usually have checked the oil by now........

 

add more oil till it register on stick

 

I have a little over 2 qrts in it and still nothing, how much does this thing hold with filter and oil change?? Or does it just depend???

 

I just changes mine put 2 one liter bottles of Maxima (filled the tank all the way) let it run for a while then checked nothing so iu had to *** about another 1/4 of a quart opr so.

 

What bad luck....... I had just over 2 qrts and it is just at the bottom of the dipstick. I am OUT of oil now!!!! this sux, I guess I will have to wait till tomorrow when I can buy more [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

The correct procidure from the Yamaha factory service manual is,First pour in 1.75L (1.85 US quarts) then start the engine & rev it 3 to 5 times, stop the engine & pour in the rest of the specified amount of oil. The specified amount of oil is,
Total amount, 2.3L (2.43 US quarts)\
Periodic oil change,
With out filter replacement, 1.9L ( 2.01 US quarts)
With new oil filter, 1.95L (2.06 US quarts)

with 2 quarts it should register just a little low on the dip stick. if you drained it good & changed the filter the most you should be is less than a half quart low & it should still show on the dipstick I would think.

I find when I change my oil I end up putting in just under 2 1/2 quarts.

 

I changed mine today ended up using about 2 /12 QT's. my dad was putting the oil in and he put 2qt's in 1st went in fine then 1/2 way threw the 2nd he overfilled the tank driped on the pipe so we started it to get the oil movin and this thing is smokin like crazy, it was funny.

 

I did the same thing the first time, It's funny till you have to clean up the mess!! Thats why you only put in 1.85 quarts then start it & add the rest.
