July 5, 201115 yr Can anybody give me any tips on checking the oil level on my 2011 sherco 290. I have changed the oil & put in 450ml as stated in the manual but my question is this, how can I check the level after a few rides to make sure there is still the right amount of oil ? it has no sight glass like my gasgas, if I remove the the filler bung there is no oil in site , even if I leen the bike over. so, how do you check it ?

You cannot, other than measuring what comes out! If you know what you put in, this is a non issue! Edited July 6, 201115 yr by copemech

July 26, 201115 yr yeah had the same problem when i first changed the oil in my cabestany replica.obviously sherco just want you to hope for the best!bit stupid really, only manufacurer i know that does this...
July 26, 201115 yr When changing the oil - lean the bike over as far as possible. Once the oil stops running out - place bike on side stand for approx 10 minutes. After that - lean it right over again and you get another flow out the drain. Just try and get as much of the old stuff out as possible.
