[QUOTE="Fred H., post: 90641, member: 2059"] It is very common for the oil level to vary on a motorcycle. I believe it is due to how much oil remains trapped in the transmission case when you shut the bike down. I have observed this phenomenon on Hondas, Kawasakis, and Yamahas. Like others mentioned, the sight glass should only be used as a "is there still any oil in it?" indicator. Pour in the proper amount when you change it and you shouldn't have to worry about it being correct. Measuring the amount you pour in is much more accurate than judging a sight glass or dip stick.
