Guest Hodgy Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Yes the bike should be stood upright and level to check the oil Quote
Tango Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 I'm sure I've read somewhere that you should check it about 5 mins after returning from a run on the bike.....don't check it when the bike hasn't been run and the engine is cold.Gotta say it's a PITA on bikes with no centre stand..... Quote
eastanglianbiker Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 and dont forget the dipstick should be removed from engine wiped with a clean rag then placed onto the casing but not screwed in and then lifted to get the level correct Quote

eastanglianbiker Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 hondas i have had in the past had to be rested on top bob but yes i can see the point of checking owners book just in case as it could be a lot of difference in the amount of oil in the bike Quote
