I have a question about the oil tank. I use the Polaris Synthetic oil like they recommend but to me it does not seem like my bike is taking an oil. I take the cap off and it seems fairly full. when I look at the hose running down from the oil tank I see the blue oil in it. I have taken it to the dealer and he stated everything looks fine. But I want to know from people out there. Does that oil pump truly mix well with the gas, do you guys usually have to put more oil in when you fill up with gas? or is it normal that the oild stays fairly full? please let me know

Thank you
Jason

The bikes do seem to use very little oil in between gas fill ups. I do not remember exactly but I think it is like 20 Full tanks of gas to 1 tank of oil.
I rarely top my oil tanks off. So yes I belive your condition is normal.

I took mine back to the dealer after putting the third tank of gas and not one ounce of oil. He just laughed at me and said it was normal.

If you think about it, if it's a 40:1 mix, 40 gallons of fuel = 1 gallon of oil. So 2.5 gallons per tank means you could use 15 or so tanks of fuel on one tank of oil.
