No it won't be my buddy just went threw this it leaked out while he was driving it on the highway it had some oil on his rear A arm. Buy time he stopped there was no oil in the primary at all to leak on the ground. He has no idea how long he drove it while it was empty. His guess is 4 hours but Filled it back up found the leak and now everything is good again.
So how long could you drive it dry before some damage was done.

I don't understand what is wrong wit the seeing the oil is at the bottom of the basket here.. I've blown the front plug on the alternator and had oil dripping for 1400 miles.. Made one heck of a mess but when done, I'd only lost about a cup.. Bike marked it spot just like an old panhead. You really aren't going to hurt anything thing until there is not enough oil for the clutch basket ring gear pick anything up.. Only way you could loose oil faster and not notice would be to drop the drain plug while out on the road..
