My bike has been sitting for almost a year and I'm having trouble starting. When I try to start it the oil pressure light is on and it won't turn over. The dealer said all the oil drained out of the tank and into the crankcase. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Remove the dain plug under the flywheel if the crankcase is full and locking up the motor this will drain it. Don't forget to refill tank before you try a start up. Dutch

Sounds like hydraulic lock up. Drain the crankcase and re-fill to proper level. Should take care of the problem.
