'05 R1200ST 93K miles. I changed the oil recently and a few days later I noticed that the oil level wasn't showing in the sight glass. I thought it was because of the nice new clean oil. But now after a few hundred miles it seems like the new oil should have darkened a little. I am now pretty sure that I am seeing only the gold-ish colored back of a dry sight glass. I loosened the drain plug bolt and confirmed that there is oil in the motor.
Looking around the Forum I see lots of threads about leaking or weeping sight glasses, but nothing about a completely dry sight glass with no oil level showing in it.
So do I need a new oil sight glass?
TIA.
