Today I fitted the centre stand to the Glee [its a pain with the springs, but a ratchet strap helps].
So I checked the oil and it seamed like it had gone [the glass is all white], the oil was there when I come back from my 1300 mile trip from buying the bike in the UK and its been stood at work in the snow for the last 4 weeks [it only just melted this week], anyway I digress, so the bike is on the centre stand and it looks like there is no oil. So I added some 1 litre, and no change - now after reading, I see the problem - this has never happened on either bikes I have owned with an oil window [Honda, BMW]. Will take it for a 40 mile run tomorrow [after dropping the excess oil I put in] and let you know if there is any difference.
Thanks for reliving the worries [I though the glee had died just before the 3000 mile service].
One quick question - it is OK to check the oil on the centre stand ???
