Thanks Dereck!

Yes!

On my 640e I stick a piece of 2 x 4 under the kick stand to level the bike.

Thanks bajadog.....But you didnt answer my question...lol ...Im talking about the oil stick.
Do we check the oil with it screwed in completly or not??

Completely screwed in.

It's the Asian bikes (my XR's and TT's) that you don't screw the dip stick in for.

Unless your 2002 Duke has an SXC engine.

Don't you have a spin on filter on the the frame?

This is my bike ....ktm 2002 duke 2 ......with the lc4 motor!!!

You do have the spin on filter so....you need to screw the dip stick in
ALL the way, and have the bike level.

I have almost 14K miles on my bike (had 19K on my first LC4), and
that is how I check my oil.

If you check it with the dipstick not screwed in, you will have over filled
the engine.

BTW. Nice looking bike.

Another question for ....You seem to know your stuff..

I have been asking the same question to many people and the answer is never the same ....

Do we check the oil when the moter is hot or cold...???

bajadog · 10-16-2010, 03:03 PM

Dereck,

I run the bike until the exhaust is too hot to touch.

Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, then check the level.

I am sure checking it cold is okay too, but my KTM mentor
always told me to do it his way.
