my x1 oil level is about an eight of an inch if that on the bottom of the dip stick.. that is the level that it always goes down to hot .. i was wondering if that was to low or not.. i have tried putting a little bit more in and it always ends up the same.. thanks guys.

So that's your bike's happy place.

Now mark the dipstick with a file or something of the sort and only worry about it if it starts going below that.

You're supposed to check your oil upright and level.

You read the HAND BOOK ...

You get the oil level correct ...

Then when you check it on the side stand as you then have a reference from then on !!!

You crack me up Lafayette! Dare I call you "Master Yoda"? PM you for knowledge I should.. hmmmmmm? When manual answers questions not... hmmmm?!? <<in my best Yoda voice.

Neil... My x1 at temp, on side stand leaves a drip on the tip of the dip-stick. If I fill it beyond that... my breather filter drips until it reaches that level again. I got sick of cleaning up oil so I stopped over filling it.

As Littlebuggles said... Thats my bikes "happy place" or "happy level".

01x1BUELL,

Sent you the Class 101 ...

If something is not clear enough, "i" will rewrite it till "i" get it right and understandable !!!
