Oil check suggestion
After every ride of moderate or longer distance, I check engine oil.
Even Tuesday night, after 545 miles and 15+ hours...especially after that distance.
I want too know it is ready to go, next ride...or have time to correct, adjust, fix whatever needs attention.
I prefer post-ride inspections and the manner of checking the oil lends itself to the practice on the Ryker:
Only 10 seconds after shut-off to check.
So, I pull into the garage, leave engine running, open trans filter cover, grab a paper towel,
Remove dipstick
Wipe off oil
Turn off engine
Quickly insert and screw-in dipstick
Unscrew and observe level
1600 miles since first oil change.
Oil level still at top of full mark.
