I just picked up a new Tiger 900. Rode it 60 miles home and while I was looking at my new purchase at home noticed that the oil level in the sight glass was completely full. I don’t think by much, it I tilt the bike say 5 degrees the oil line comes into sight and when the engine runs there is no oil in the sight glass
I’m probably over thinking this but I know there is a danger of the crank whipping up excess oil into a foam and preventing proper lubrication.
1. if the crank whips the oil into a foam does it stay in that state even after the engine is cold?
2. if there is no oil present in the air box can I assume that their was not oil hitting the crank and no harm done?
3. If I drop a bit oil through the drain plug do I risk getting a bit of grit or dirt in the oil?
TIA
