I recently did an oil & filter change, I set the oil height whilst on the centre stand so filled on the high side.
I took the bike out yesterday but before setting off I thought the oil looked low so I topped her up a bit.
Then whilst out I thought it looked too high.. so after ponding it over night I decided to check it today once she'd cooled down.
First I checked my garage floor was level, it is thankfully.
This is the level with her on the center stand,
Then I placed the bike on the side stand and used a small block of wood that put the bike at almost balance point.
and the level then looked like this.
Which I think is about perfect.
Just amazing how much difference there is between the center & side stand, and also the height difference between hot oil & cool oil.
