hi
got a quick question
when i start up my zx9 the oil level is at the correct level,
then it just disappears and then you get a splash or two
is this correct or a problem?
didnt do it on my vfr or gsxr

All engines do it to a degree, when you start it up the oil is constantly pumped around the engine to splash feed the cams etc, its only after its been stationary for a few minutes or longer that it all drains back down from the head and other parts back into the sump.
