Title: Ran on low oil for a bit
Post by: stefanoascari on September 28, 2012, 07:00:02 PM

Hi,

I am usually ok at checking the oil but haven't in about 3 weeks. Yesterday I checked and it was barely at the L line. I'm worried I might have damaged something although the bike seems to run ok...

Hey Stefanoascari

Don't get too concerned. Running at the "Low" mark won't hurt the engine...it will shorten the life of the oil, which overtime can cause problems, but it's not going to do immediate damage to the engine.

I would suggest you change the oil, put in the correct amount and keep a closer eye on it going forward.
