Title: K1100RS Weird random oil level Hi / Lo
Post by: KCinSB on August 03, 2013, 12:20:36 AM

I've had this bike a long time. My routine before riding is to check tires and oil level, on the center stand. I know this was not happening until recently.  The other day, did my Pre-flight, and the oil level was well below the center Dot. I thought that odd, and wondered how I could have used or burned that much oil on the last work commute, 100 mi...........     :dunno2:  so I filled it to the Dot, and took off.  Got to work, up on the center, looked at the oil, and it was above the Dot by the same amount I had added....
This random Lo and then later back to normal, (since I set the level after oil change), has happened several times now.  It seems like there is a quantity of oil that finds a place to hide, and later shows up as normal.  How can this happen?   :dunno   has anyone seen this on their bike?

Yep, many times. Can't answer why, but it does happen.

Did your bike always do this?   I think this has just started on mine recently and can't figure out what changed!   Is it a sign of something going South?

I've noticed it happening for quite a while on both bikes.
