I drained the crank case oil and primary oil a few weeks ago. Left plugs out. It has been sitting there. I was gong to fill her up in next few days. Should I be concerned? Just put the oil back in like normal? Any thing special?

Sorry for the weird scenario/question.

Peace & Grease,
Barker

I had done the same thing a few years ago. The only issue I had was with the primary. I let the bike warm up for about 5 minutes before I took off, and I wasnt able to shift out of second for at least another 5 minutes. It was adjusted to spec just about as good as ever, I assume it just needed to slosh around inside for a few minutes until everything was properly lubed again.

No worries.
