I should know this, and i cant get the manual to open up on my computer so here goes .On the bottom ride side of the motor about level with the end of the back brake pedel is a bolt , that from memory can be used to check the oil level by placing the bike upright , then removing the bolt , oil should be at the exact level of the bolt hole ???? could some one please confirm this .. cheers ...

wayno, here is a video on it...

Thanks for posting the video , I usually do it that way but i am curious about the bolt and from memory thought there was some thing in the manual about checking it that way as well .. cheers ..

no worries. That is the only way because they are a dry sump motor.
