Yeah ok. So when you get the new rings, check the holes in the back of the oil groove are clear, check the side clearance of the rings (that's the clearance top or bottom of the ring), and check the ring gap of course. When you get the bike together, check it all over before you start it, then when you do start it, check the oil is getting to the head, then start riding straight away, don't let it sit idling, and when you are riding it, put a heavy load on it until it's built up about 3/4 revs, then let the throttle right off till it's slowed to just above idle revs then give it about 3/4 throttle again and keep it there till about 3/4 revs.. repeat that cycle about ten minutes or so and the rings will bed in.. That first few minutes is more important than hundreds of miles of careful running in.If you bed the rings like that, the engine doesn't need any running in. Let it sit idling and the rings might never bed in. The rings have to have a heavy load on them in the first few minutes.. That means letting the engine labour slightly..

I entered the information that you provided and Google says It should take at least 3.5 litres of oil without a filter, and 3.8 litres with a filter. Also, when doing any oil change your quad should be on as level ground as possible or the level could read to much or not enough 22, 2016"

Thanks for the response , I ordered a new filter and it comes with the 2 o rings needed (one small in behind the filter one large in front ) , should be here by Wednesday, pretty excited do you have any clue on how much oil my bike should take ??

It's meant to have an O ring under there. It may be that the O ring has gone hard and possibly flattened. It's also possible that the cover has got distorted around where the nuts are as the cover has been drawn down onto the O ring. Take the cover off and rub it on a bit of wet and dry paper on a flat surface. Check if it's sanding on the three corners before anywhere else, and if is touching on the three corners then keep rubbing till the contact is all the way around. They use a new O ring.
