1997 XTZ660 Tenere
Hi all.
I have just bought a 1997 XTZ660 Tenere, & being the 1st bike with dry sump I'm confused.
I looked at the dip stick (the bike was level) after running the engine & there was no oil showing. Not being sure I drained the oil (crankcase & frame) & got about 2.5 - 3ltrs out. I then put in 2.7 ltrs (as per the book) ran the engine for a couple of minutes. I also opened the air drain from the top of the oil filter till oil came out.
The dip stick still is not showing any oil.
Is this right? How does the dry sump system work?
Does the oil go from the crankcase to the sump etc?
How do I check the oil level?
Thank you in advance.
