Re: [ST] Oil Level?

["Cameron" <camckay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I put in about 3/4 of a quart last night to get the level just above the
middle of the glass. I 've got about 3800 miles on the bike and it's the
first time the oil has ever been low.  HMMMM?  Maybe I should put some oil
leak sealant in just in case. What do you guys think?





How many e-mails do you think this question will generate today?
