2005 749 Dark sump - deep or shallow?

[4corsa]

Looking at buying a used cat eliminator pipe and cored muffler, and need to know if my 05 749 Dark has the deep or shallow oil sump. Thanks!

The only 749 with a deep sump was the R . So yours is shallow.

Thanks for the info! thought i read that they changed to the deep sump in 05, but perhaps that was the 999 only.

My 2005 749 Dark has a shallow sump.

I believe 2005 and 2006 are deep sump standard, not just R. Dark models are shallow however.

My 2006 749s is definitely a shallow sump.

you could always have a look at your bike? it's pretty easy to tell... I mean what if people on the forum are wrong? in fact wouldn't it be easier to check the actual bike? that would be my advice.

I would have, but my bike is currently in storage, and not easily accessible :-(
