Good points, but how do you know for sure? Guess just always being a Kawi guy and having the window, it was nice. I change it about every 3 rides, but funnier things have happened where oil seeps out, it's low, etc. Never can quite know for sure. Guess you guys are more trusting than I. I know on like the Honda's you have a level check with a bolt you can take out. If it's coming out the hole, it's good.
I remember when Ray Dunaway used to do things for me at the track, he's always put the whole quart in. His through was any extra will come out the overflow, which is what I did the first couple oil changes, but that seems like a waste.
Thanks anyway. Guess I'll just deal with it or keep looking for a stock cover... I likey the window. How often you guys check your coolant level? Suppose you just measure it just right and change it every couple rides to know it's good?....
