Did you pre-fill the oil filter?

And did you drain the oil out of the old filter for your measurement?

I don't even measure mine any longer. Drain it, drop the oil filter and replace with a filled oil filter, pull and clean the screen, torque everything. Then fill oil till it settles at about half way of the window.
Crank it up, check for leaks, ride it around the neighborhood until I see people walking out their front door looking at what's making all the noise, go home and it's always right where it was before I terrorized the neighbors...

Hello speed dog,


I did pre-fill my new filter and I did remove as much oil as I could from the old filter for my measurement. I am guessing I check the oil when the bike is cold? If so it is slightly below the MAX line, I guess I am good?
