Pulling it tommorrow, took a half day and wife is gone so I have all night in peace and quiet. If I can commendeer a friend to help me lift it out I will have the pan off tommorrow night. Going for a record of 3 hours to strip it down and lift it out :Rockon:
 
Good luck kinger, hope you can figure it out soon.
 
I have the same problem, although I didn't have the knowledge at the time to check for circ in the tank. I did an oil change and figured the oil gang bolt was too hard to get to. I'm only reading below E on the dip stick, however have added 3L of oil already. I've run it for a couple of minutes (didn't know to look in the oil tank for circulation).

I'm concerned about running it again with out knowing oil is being circulated. I'm also concerned it may not be circulating.

I'm not sure I followed the oil change procedure properly. I see now it says add 2L of oil, then install diptstick and cyl head cap. The it is confusing
Inspect engine and oil tank for leaks
Inspect engine oil level - Refer to Engine Oil Inspection
Inspect engine Oil Pressure - talks about losten oil gang bolt etc.

Why only add 2L of oil to the tank, when the oil change requires 3L?
Where does the extra 1L of oil go that I added. It says add 2L above, but I've added 3L, and still no full on the dipstick.

If I remove the oil filter and it has oil in it, then I would guess that the oil is circulating. Can anyone confirm this?

As you can see, I'm confused about what's happening here, and also very concerned I may have done damage already by running with out knowing oil is circulating. I'm not used to Bike engines, only to vehicles, so I've never had to deal with the oil tank situation, and have always had a oil pressure gage to know things are ok.

Your comments/assistance is greatly appreciated.

I've also posted on RX-1 in General Area.
