Cold engine...on the SS, oil level is just a trifle below the low line. It was on the low line 800-1,000 mi ago.
Engine hot, normal idle, bike vertical, window is mostly solid oil, except for a touch of bubbles at the very top.
Just above idle, (fast idle) window is solid oil....no bubbles.
Slow idle, (barely clickin over) window is 3/4 - 4/5 solid oil.
I actually hadn't found this "
HOT TEST" before, so I did a version of it this morning, engine was not real hot (only about a 2 mile in town ride before checking)
BTW, running blue jug ROTSYN
