OIL LEVEL

[busa2r]

Another newby question on a 2006 pitbull how do you check oil level i didnt get a owners manual with the bike and no dipstick in the tank WTF thanks

It should be at the bottom threads of the cap.

It should be at the bottom threads of the cap.

NO! Not on a pitbull. I have a Ridgeback (same tank as pitbull) and the oil level should be just below the bottm of the fill neck by about 1/2".

Tank sould be about 2/3 - 3/4 full. If you fill to bottom of threads on the cap, the bike will puke oil out of every orfice it has when you start it up.

To the bottom of the fill neck on an 06' Pitbull.

I have my Bulldog manual right in front of me. Says bottom of cap threads. It could very well be different for all our style of bikes. Don't want to give bad info.

 

[Oscar Maldonado]

Bulldog and the Pitbull 2 different fills. The 06 is to the bottom of the fill neck.

They make a temp gage. Talk to Nelson of Wicked Bastard Cycles - He'll take care of you.

I made my own dipstick. I took a coat hanger and bent it around so the bottom inserted into the tank just hits the right oil level. The top of the dipstick has a 90 degree bend to rest on the rear edge of the filler neck. Then I know I'm getting the same reading every time.

I don't carry it with me, but I have it in my tool chest and use it religiously to check the oil level.

Each model has it's own level, so check your manual for specifications.

Fill the funker till it leaks like a HD then run the shit out of it for two days and that should be about right!!

Bottom of the fill neck when engine is at normal operating temp?
