I hate to ask this, but how exactly am I suppose to check the oil level on my bike? I had to pry off the fill cap will channel locks(looks like the previous owner did as well) and I found no dip stick on the cap. Are there fill marking on the inside of the fill neck that I'm over looking or is this just a guessing game?
I've been hearing a loud "pinging" sound coming from the engine(I believe the front cylinder). I figure it's a pushrod or lifter, but I wanted to check the oil level. I just started it up and all of a sudden the tach is shooting all the way across the board at idle. Is this something to do with the oil pump? Idle set to low? It hasn't done this before.
