Default Re: really stupid oil level question

The bike needs to have its oil level checked with both wheels level and the bike upright.

If the bike's on the side stand you put quite a bit more oil in than you should.

If you use a rear paddock stand and no front stand the motor's tilted forwards, you'll under fill with oil.
