After coming back from BKK I decide to run the bike up to see if it would start, it had been sat for nearly 2 months. Before I started it I checked to see if there was any oil in the neck, nothing, it was bone dry. I started the bike (it started first time) and ran it for 10 mins. After turning it off and leaving it a minute I again checked the oil, still the dipstick was bone dry. Ummm now I was starting to wonder, but I could safely say there was oil in there because there was nothing on the ground in the garage.
I took the bike out the following day (and took some oil with me) and I rode it for about 10 miles, pulled in at a parking area to let the oil settle, when I checked it the oil was there and in the correct place on the dipstick
Even though I understand how it works due to the explanations above I still can not get my head round it sometimes
