Since the motor is likely to be at a different angle than it was designed for, you might need to recalibrate how you check the oil level. The sight glass might not be reliable anymore and the dipstick never was. You could make a mark on the dipstick that represents full at the new angle, with a fresh litre of oil in it. Just thinking out loud.
i had that thought about the angle too looking at the pic.

i bet that 450 aluminum chassis will end up weighing as much as one of our china bike steel frames or less with a whole lot more benefits! (it is aluminum, right?)

this is a neat thread, thanks crackerjac for sharing it
