checking oil (COOLER weather)

[bmccaffrey]

Weather has cooled.
Will ride as long as i can. This is what i call 2-3 bar riding weather.
Being it will not get up to where the fan will run is there different procedure for checking oil :dontknow:

CAN MOVE SOUTH :roflblack:

Move...

long drive just to check oil...:roflblack::roflblack: fan does not have to come on. If you prefer you can run it stationary for about 10 min and it will get hot enough. If not ryding I will start her up, and if in the garage, it will hit five bars and fan on in about 10min. I don't wait once the guage registers two to three bars I take the measurement. :thumbup:

Have you ever tried to check your oil simply sitting there, just to see how this relates to the final oil level after it's warm ? I realize that this is not the recommended way to check the oil. Yes, I can and did read the manual.
