Weird Oil change issue. HELP!

@Calum
No the oil was fine. Just cant seem to wrap my head around why before i dumped the oil it was at the correct level in the window. I dump the lot which equates to 750ml. I then top it back up to the correct level in the looking glass again and it only took 250ml to do so?
I expect it to take a little less before running the engine again then checking the level and topping up if needs be but surely 500ml missing out of the required 750ml is abit much? I dont paticularly want to run it with just 250ml in if you know what i mean -

@Calum yeah i was thinking that. Because i know what came out and i know what needs to go back in. Its just confused me slightly
. Chances are it will just drop back to the correct level anyway i guess if i put the other 500ml in.
I hope

@CalDT125 If in doubt, dump it all out. Lean the bike over to ensure it comes out of the gearbox.
Then refil.

Again? But ive only just done that. I’ll just put about 400ml in there and run it for a min then see what the level is saying. Then put the extra 100 or whatever it needs to bring it up. Im just guessing theres a massive 500ml air pocket somewhere that isnt wanting oil. Either that or the looking glass is taking the piss aha -
It takes exactly 750ml. So you can dump it out into a contain and measure it back to 750ml. Won't matter if it's the same oil. Don't need fresh stuff.

if you go to wilkinsons you can get a plastic measuring jug for about 70p then you know exactly how much you are putting in
