Need to verify

[Topshotta]

This is my procedure for checking the oil. Is this correct?

1. Go for ride to get the engine to operating temp
2. when I pull into the garage I keep it running and go remove my jacket
3. Engine still running I remove the Tupperware
4. shut engine off
5. remove dipstick - wipe it off
6. reinsert dipstick - screw it all the way in
7. remove dipstick and read oil level

Thank you

It looks good from here... :clap:
The key is to make sure that the bike is FULLY warmed-up...
...and given at least thirty seconds of idling, prior to shutting it down. :2thumbs:

The only difference for me is that I shut off the engine before I remove the tupperware. The foam is always gone by then.

The thing with doing that is the reading is lower by the time I remove the Tupperware. So which is more accurate?

If you go by the warm up duties removing the body parts are a none issue

According to the manual what you are doing is by the book...except you are leaving out one step. After getting it to operating temp, park on level surface. Shut it off. Remove the panel. Restart and run for 30 seconds. Shut off and immediately check oil level.

Take the panel off, and get the reading A.S.A.P. after shutting the bike down...
