Default Loss power and oil loss

This is the second time oil temp was over 300 and no oil on dip stick. Plus this time bike wouldn’t start until I put a quart of oil in. The bike would suddenly cut of at her I started it. My average temps are 250.since I have a stage 1 with power vison, my bike has been tagged for tuner. Took the bike out for few hundred miles today no issues. Now debating on a fueling oil pump?

I would find someone with a bore scope and check the cylinders. Sounds like the motor is sumping. Unless you are burning oil the oil is most likely still in the crankcase and you are now a quart over filled at least. High engine temp, loss of power and low oil level are the prime symptoms. If things got that hot I'd be afraid you burned up a cylinder or two. Good luck.

Hope you're sumping isn't caused by a loose piston oiler jet. Mine sumped twice within 1,000 mi before the piston jet broke a tooth on the counterbalancer and destroyed the engine. If it's a piston oiler jet issue you'll have a ticking time bomb that won't get fixed with an oil pump.
