If you have any questions about motorcycle tuning You can reach out to us through the BLR TUNING Facebook page.

you have 10 seconds to check the oil before it drains into the dry sump enough to be inaccurate. yes in the video it took me 25 seconds that's because I was showing it on camera. Just follow the procedure and you will be checking the oil correctly.

In this video I show you exactly how to go about checking your oil level properly.

This has been a very controversial topic since the Can-Am Ryker came out on the market. I have spoke with several BRP Representatives. I have also spoke with the head maintenance technician at two different BRP certified dealerships and service centers.

you can check out my video on how to change your oil properly at this link.

These are the steps you need to take when you are checking your oil level on the Can-Am Ryker this applies to all models.

1: take the vehicle for a 9 Mile ride. this will ensure that all the oil is distributed throughout the motor and that it is at running temperature. just letting it idle until it's at running temperature will not achieve this.
2: open the air vent and have a paper towel handy before you shut the bike off.
3: shut the vehicle off you now have 10 seconds.
4: within 10 seconds you need to remove the dipstick wipe it off once and put it back in. make sure you thread it all the way down and then unthread it again and look where the oil level is.
5: that is officially your oil level if it's in the middle there is no need to add oil or take away oil.
6: a motor that is overfilled with oil can do more damage quicker than in motor that has low oil.

Great video Bill! Very professional information. I learned a lot, especially about the pump draining the oil and about riding the bike for at least 9 miles. I just thought it had to be warm. Didn't know you only had 10 seconds!! So stressful! LOL!!

Shit! Thanks Bill for the vid. My wife’s brand new Sport has been having me scratch my head. It’s got 400 miles on it and I checked the level and NOTHING on the stick! I’m like wtf, I added half quart to get it in range. We rode just 80 miles one day and I checked the oil again the next day and nothing on the stick! Lol. The dry sump system explains it then. It’s migrating out of the oil tank to the crankcase while sitting. Well I’m probably half quart overfill now. Time for it’s break in oil change. Very important video for those new Ryker owners. Oh, and another important thing for viewers to know is that damn VSS and limp mode. She was indeed overlapping the brake and throttle when she first started riding it and that had me losing my mind. Since then the limp mode went away (after nearly 40 miles) and never came back. These things the salesmen at the dealers should be warning buyers about at the time of sale because here I was thinking we got ourselves a lemon. Thanks again for the video Bill. The wife loves her Ryker and I’m starting to have a liking for the machine also. I currently own a 2019 Road Glide and a 2005 Busa and love them both. I might be interested in a F3 someday if BRP stuffs a 200hp motor in one. Till then I’ll patiently enjoy my Busa.

I really like your videos Bill. I have watched every one of your videos that has anything to do with Ryker. Please keep up with the work.

Just wanted to say thanks for the videos, very informative. I have a question for you, where did you get your drink holder, I've been looking for one and can't find one I like but yours is nice and out of the way.

Really like your VDO my ryker have check engine light show. Can you please suggest how to clear the light? Thank you

[Gaspedaleks]

I Believe the correct procedure includes idling for 10 minutes before shutting off as well. Probably does not make a huge difference, but still wanted to Point it out :)

[williamperez]

Great advise! Does the bike have a light to tell you when your low in oil?

[michaelchavez]

Will someone go over the proper gear oil level for the can am ryker plz

[javersowens]

Is there an oil level gauge in the cluster display

[tehuey]

What is the exhaust you have on the Ryker?

[bobl]

Great video. Thanks for all you do. I was wondering if you unscrew the dipstick before shutting off the engine would that help with the time?

[GRIM_MOD]

Is it normal to see a little bit of smoke right after driving and opening the dip stick part? They are telling me yes but idk lol

Alternative : get a bung to match dipstick hole and keep the dipstick DRY in a plastic bag, ready to check oil - without wasting precious seconds during this farce to check something as important as oil level 🦂
Or, cut dipstick shaft off and use bung - and buy a fresh dipstick, bag it and use when needed 🤓

[edmondor]

Bill, I've been wondering if there is a way to correlate the stone cold oil level to the warmed up (9 mile, 10 second) oil level? Does the cold engine oil level even register on the dipstick?

[jhillestad]

Is that 600 mile "break in" oil change the dealer wants really needed ?

[eldjnitro]

And What happen if you are not shure, and Ride 9 miles and Screw the Motor 😔? There is no other Way to do it ?

[MMSWORD]

Looks like it's actually just a tad low

[ElMastaJos]

It took you 27.3 seconds to check the oil level, not 10.
