how to measure oil level

[rob0781]

How can i tell if i got enough oil in my engine with no dipstick???My dipstick is broke and i wanna go for a small ride tonight but i don't wanna runner dry,ii stuck a radio antenna in the hole till i hit bottom and when pulled it out there was about 5-6inches of oil on it.....this sound right?i could just change the oil but i'm completely broke..

If it was drained completely.. and you know how much volume it takes on a change.. now don't forget that a change will be less than when you open the cases......... you should be dead on.

Did it come with the manual ?

If you bike dosent leak or burn oil...then I bet the level is just fine

if you know how long you dipstick was.....get your little antenna and measure it....the stick it in and see what it looks like....only stick it in as far at the old dip stick went in
