The TDM 850/900 is a dry sump bike. Two oil pumps, one pressure fed from the oil tank, one scavenge to pump sump oil back to tank after it's been everywhere. When you fill the oil tank the pressure pump (the important one) has a feed of oil directly into it, doesn't have to 'suck' it up from the sump.
He must be talking about wet sump bikes, even in those not normally a problem, unless you take the pump apart.
Won't be a problem at all.
