I've got marks on my garage floor I put my tires on to facilitate consistent oil level checks. All this time I've kept the level at the bottom of the window or 2-3mm higher when cold and level.
I never really paid much bother to the difference in attitude that the FS has.
So I goes and swaps wheels to 21/18 and it needed about 3 ounces (60ml) to come up to the same level in the glass.
I measured the distance from the ground to center of the axles and it's about identical. The rear is a pirelli MT43 (a tall tire). The front is a MT-21 I think it's a 90/90-21. With a 18" 120 or 130 rear the attitude would be even more different than with 17's. So dirt wheels, the front is usually a little taller whereas it's a lot smaller with 17's.
The 17's, the front is a fair bit smaller (one inch in radius) and drops the engine down enough to make quite a bit of difference in observed oil level.
Landing the plane now… I've been running it a little low on oil all this time.
If the FE oil level is spost to be at the bottom of the window or a few mm above, that means there should be around 1/4 to 1/3 of the glass covered with supermoto wheels fitted. (cold with bike level.)
This should be the case with any make of bike converted to a motard.
