Just come back from three weeks holiday so the Electra X needed to be started after sitting for three weeks.
After the usual pre start procedure, free off clutch, kick over three times, "switches off" petrol on choke on, take over top dead centre, ignition on press starter. (It started first touch on the starter button.
The bike sounded "rough" and did not improve.
After running the engine, I checked the oil level, and it appears a lot of oil has "disappeared," (I have checked several times using my own dipstick as well.
There is no big oil slick on the floor of the garage and no oil leaks evident.
Any suggestions?
