So I am new to motorcycling in general, and just recently purchased a 2006 Ducati Monster 620. It was shipped with low oil, but I still was able to start it up and ride down my street. I admit to revving it whilst on low oil. The gauges showed low oil, and the oil temp also said "lo". I then changed the oil and filter. I used a KN Filter as a replacement filter, which I Understand voids the warranty
. For the oil, I used Castrol 1 Power 10W-40 oil, as prescribed by the owner's manual and other Ducati Monster forums. I believe I followed all the right steps as far as replacing the oil and filter (draining and such) until I actually refilled the oil. The youtube video I watched recommended 3 quarts of oil, and I blindly followed suit. When I took my bike off the stand, the oil level was way above the middle of the glass, completely covering the glass at that. I started it up and let it run on neutral for a little bit. I had to pick some things up from Lowe's, so I turned my bike off, and about 45 minutes later, returned, and took it out for a ride.
Remember how I said I am new to motorcycling? I made it to the end of my street, came to a stop, pulled the clutch in, but stalled as I tried to accelerate again. I wasn't able to get it moving after that and restarted the bike a few times, stalling out again and again, probably because I was starting it in first gear, however I did eventually put it in neutral then start from their. After about 5 attempts, I could no longer start the engine, and I could just here the solenoid spinning. I tried again and again, but it kept turning over. The red oil light came on again, and it said the oil temperature was "lo". I had to shamefully waddle my bike back down my street to my house, where I tried to diagnose the problem. I thought the engine might have flooded, but when I let it sit overnight, there was still no luck in the morning. Are the spark plugs in need of replacing? Do I need to drain the oil? Take it to a mechanic? I'd prefer to fix it myself, but I'll do what I gotta do to fix my bike. Please help, or let me know if this has happened to any of yall.
