Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech No oil in new Bonneville? Engine oil capacity?

Hmm... I've been thinking on this. These guys are not reading your posts. I can see where you posted that you had it upright to check the level. And even waited between trying to fire it up and checking the levels again...

My question is.....Is your bike kept outside?? Is there any way the mechanic could have thought "$hit, I didn't put any oil in that bike" and nipped over and topped it up while you were not looking? That's the only reason I can think of that the oil level would havegone up that much. And no, the oil filter won't hold that much...so the "it soaked up" theory is the biggest laugh I've heard in a while...
