Just wondering, my old suzuki had a simple sight glass on the crankcase-but my 00 400ex I just got has a dipstick and oil reservoir.
I pulled the stick and checked it when I first got it and it was overfull according to the to the markings on the stick. The quad was cold and hadnt been rode in hours. I drained some out till it was at the proper mark, maybe about 1/4 a cup of oil.
I played around for about 15 minutes today and check the oil and its still over full by a good bit somehow, machine was off tho. I checked it while it was hot and again just now after about 10 mins of sitting and its still high according to the markings on the stick....
What gives? Am I reading it wrong, is something wrong with the quad? Sorry if it seems like a stupid question but I dont want to wreck something that cost me alot of cash.
