One common mistake people make is to change the oil and filter, then fill the engine until the sightglass is at the proper level. Once the engine starts and oil is pumped into the filter the level drops - and it's too low.
That's why you need to run it briefly (there's plenty of oil to be safe temporarily), then shut it off and check it again after waiting the proper amount of time. The time delay gives the oil time to run back down to the sump - which is all factored-in to the correct level reading. The bike also needs to be help perfectly level to get an accurate reading. |
Yeah, I read all that carefully before doing it and did it exactly how it's supposed to be and the oil level was good.
About the whining, I guess I'll have to learn to live with it if I don't find what's causing it for sure and get it fixed. I wouldn't mind it if it's a little, but it does silence the actual bike noise, which I'd much rather be hearing lol.
