Hello from Canada.
I recently purchased a 2013 Husky TE449. I have some questions regarding the oil level. The dealer told me that it was better to have the oil in the lower portion of the sight glass. They stated that having a higher oil level can cause it to cough oil up into the breather line and into the airbox.
I am sure that is old news for you guys. My question is how do you check the oil level? I have always checked the oil level on my previous bikes with the bike in a vertical position. I assumed this to be the proper way. The owners manual however states that the bike should be on its kickstand. I called the dealer and they stated that it should be vertical.
Also do you check the oil when its hot? I noticed that it expanded a considerable amount when it warmed up. This could maybe cause enough expansion to cause the high oil level problem described above.
Anyways exactly how much oil do you guys add?
