Someone ELSE is reading your oil levels while you're driving??? Hot DAMN, that's almost as impressive as YOU doing it !!!Originally posted by Batgirl
Ok; you guys just aren't funny [)] (maybe one or two of you)
Anyways it's obviously not me looking at the oil level. While riding along the oil level is still almost full. [:0]
I'm going to live forever; so far so good
The oil level right after stopping the engine is irrelevant. To check the oil level according to the service manual,Originally posted by Cambridgezx6r
When at rest, RIGHT after you stop the bike and kill ignition, where does the bike oil level show at?

- Situate the motorcycle so that it is perpendicular to the ground.
- If the motorcycle has just been used, wait several minutes for all the oil to drain down.
- If the oil has just been changed, start the engine and run it for several minutes at idle speed. This fills the oil filter with oil. Stop the engine, then wait several minutes until the oil settles.
- Check that the oil level is between the upper and lower levels in the gauge.
