I put about 4 quartz in it but still cannot see it .. why is this ?

 

Welcome to the forums....

That bike should hold around 3 qrts or so if I remember right. Are you checking the sight glass with the bike upright and level? Maybe the oil is so clean you are just not seeing it. Try making your own homemade dipstick maybe....If you are still unsure.

 

i think a zx7 was around 4 courts, i cant remember off hand but the bike needs to be straight up in order to see it in the sight glass. even if its on the side stand the oil will not show in the glass.

 

did you put the drain plug back in? LOL

 

yeay no leaks or anything just cant see the oil, the bike is almost upright and you would think you could see a little bit of oil- i guess i am going to try to put more in their at this point i am ready to ride- thanks for the help

 

i wouldnt stick more oil in there then its intended to hold man, your asking for trouble.

 

The "Almost upright" has me abit concerned. 4qts is usually the norm in oil. You may not be seeing the level especially if you are running synthetic. So check the level when the ride is fully upright.

 

my 7 takes around 3.6 l which i believe is like 3.8qt the bike much be staight up and down and on flat ground for you to get a accurate reading. if its on its side stand, you won't be able to see the oil at all.
