Hehe the old problem.....the manual says to warm up the bike for 5 mins at tick over and then check the level. If you check with the engine hot then the oil is still in the motor and so very low in the tank I guess. Same with my Raptor and when I changed oil and filter yesterday I removed 2.5L of oil, and refilled with 1.85L as per the book. Feels MUCH better so make sure you do not overfill.
