Lost ALL of the oil out of my RX-1M!!!

Well, I would be thrilled to hear another idea. Unless someone can come up with something else I only have the "sled position" theory that the factory hotline proposed to the dealer.

I'm very new to the 4 stroke world, Picked up the Mtn Vector Thursday, but I did read the post and asked the dealer when I picked it up. He said the common reply " never heard of that before" he claims the vent system on the oil reservoir has been changed and is nearly impossible to create a syphon. I hope so because some times my sled spends a lot of time on it's sides.

I HaVE LOST SOMEW OIL FROM BEING SIDEWAYS

I ROLL MY SLED ALOT
I hAVE BEEN LOSING OIL BUT NOT ALL OF IT
This is the first time I had heard of this Siponing thing But I had found A bunch of Oil under My sled in the truck
I could find no Engine leak so I Washed my sled & Motor
and Started the Engine looking for a leak
I Could not Find one
I start my Sled and let it Heat up And I Get More Oil all over agian Perhaps this Siponing Thing I still cant see Where it Came out of the engine from wierd eh?
Still Mine is Running Fine as far as I can tell & I just Live with yhe oil I Spill rolling over all the time
If I roll over I just try to Clean it Up More often I Guess.
