to answer your questions some details need to be clarified the xt is not actually a dry sump its a shallow pan sump system, the oil is picked up the same as a conventional sump through a scavenger pick up. the oil is then sent through the oil ways in the motor and out through the bearings etc as a normal engine the oil that does not get out through the oil ways and bearings is pumped into the oil tank and is then fed to the sump to start the cycle all over again.
run the engine untill the oil reaches about 60c turn off the engine, position the bike vertically and make a reading on a dip stick. dip stick should not be screwed in when measuring the oil level.

Thank You
Can you overfill without damage? say 3-3.5 ltrs.
