Oil level

Hi guys, ktm newbie here looking for advice. Anyone know if you should be able to see oil in the sight glass with the engine running? The level without it running is spot on, just noticed the other day that it disappeared with the engine running and wondered if this is normal? I’ve come from always having inline 4s so I’m still getting used to the dukes little quirks! Thanks

Oil is checked with hot engine. Bike off. Wait 30 seconds. Bike vertical. Oil at half glass or a little higher. When running it will drop because it is circulating.
Thought that might be why just wanted to make sure. Cheers

I have noticed that the oil level in the site glass does not drop (go down) while the engine is running on my 2015 super duke r. Why?
