| Oil filled air cleaner cover? I would guess that the dipsticks at kawi made the dipstick too short? 15k for a bike with the wrong oil dip stick ! I'm pissed

| This has not been resolved even on an 05. I keep my oil level at the min mark on the dipstick in order to not overfill the bike.

| WHen checking your oil, of course be sure the bike is level, let it run for several minutes while in the level position. Shut the engine down and check to oil level by screwing the oil cap all of the way in. Kawasaki uses a semi-dry sump and there are three compartments you have to drain when changing oil. So it is important to let the bike run in level positon for several minutes before checking oil.

| | I too made the mistake of checking the oil in my Kawapiggy vn2000 and like lots of other folks I overfilled it. My steadfast belief that jap bikes are well engineered and high quality is now gone. Between the bearings making sounds like my coffer grinder, the drive belt chirping, the mysterious process to check the oil, the shifting like a massey ferguson, I gotta say, Kawasaki let me down. |
