The service manual doesn't really tell me anything. If it does, I missed it. All of the videos I've watched for the Panigale say it is about 3.5 Liters. But after putting 3.5 Liters in the bike, the oil level in the sight glass is completely full.
I ran the bike for a few minutes to let the oil soak into the filter, and while the bike is running the site glass is just a bit under the high mark, but as soon as I shut the bike off, it gradually goes back to being completely full. This is with the bike on front/rear stands, so there are no lean angles in the equation.
Should I be checking the site glass with the bike cold, and leaning? Cold and upright? Warm and leaning? Warm and upright? I'm not really sure, so here I am...
I need to make sure I put in the right amount before I go ride it and **** something up that I can't afford to fix.
