Okay... so things don't sound so good. But, a few questions.
- Does the bike still run?
- If it runs is it noisier than usual?
- I take it you damaged the filter and not the crankcase. That true?
- Did it smell hot when you ran it low on oil?
- Did it actually NEED 4 quarts or was that overkill?
A while back the nut cap on my K&N oil filter de-laminated from the rest of the filter and oil spewed out all over before I noticed. It was all over the rear end of the bike and the road where I parked. EVERYWHERE!! I managed to roll into a Honda dealer, got fitted with new filter and oil and everything's okay. However, I doubt I lost as much oil as you.
Let us know... meanwhile I feel your pain.
