Hey all. I recentley changed my oil and filter and filled it to the top of the gauge. i then had my carbs balanced and i noticed yesturday that when the bike is upright you cant even see the oil in the window. it looks like i have lost over a litre of oil. but there is no leaking on the drive. could this be due to the balancing?

you will lose some oil displacement if you change the oil and filter and top it up to the mark, when you run the engine the oil filter will fill up and also the nooks and crannies around the engine, top it up again now to the mark and u should be ok then.
