Re: checking oil level, engine running or not
engine off for at least 5 mins before checking, to give oil chance to run back to the sump. Hold bike level to check it.

Re: checking oil level, engine running or not
yes make sure engine is off an the bike has been sitting a bit after it was last run other wise you will get a dodge reading.

Re: checking oil level, engine running or not
I thought my SV was dead when I went to collect it from the old owners, actually abandoned it and went home on the bus, and read the manual on teh way home- "Pull in clutch and press start button". Doh!
