Kawasaki 650 SX oil problem

[der]

I currently own a Kawasaki 650 SX stand up jet-ski and I want to know how is the main bearings in the bottom crankcase is lubricated. There is a plastic filler cap on front of engine and wondering what if any oil should be put into it. I am wondering if I fill front case with oil how do I check the level of the oil as there is no dip stick. I currently mix the two-stroke oil with the petrol before putting into tank of Jet Ski.

Do not put oil in that little hole. I beleive that is your flywheel cover. You should however spray a few shots of WD-40 into it everynow and then to help keep corrosion from condensation at a minimum. Assuming your JS is a 2-stroke motor, the lower bearings are lubricated from the exhaust gases which contain oil from the gas/oil mix that it burns.

Yes it is a two stroke motor, i have used the jet ski many times since with no oil and no problems!so i might just spary some WD-40 into and hope for the best. Thank you for reply.

The oil is mixed with the intake charge, not exhaust.
