Yeah it's funny I had this Triumph Bonneville one of the new generation ones and the Brits copied the Japanese by using a sight glass and they were smart enough to put it on the right side of the engine so that a person could simply hold on to the bike Tip It Up level and see the oil level. But my other current bike is a Honda and they were smart enough to just give you a dipstick and you can sit on the bike and check your oil with a dipstick

 ::) well I am needing reading glasses and have tried to do it your way and it is next to impossible. I am so surprised that Kawasaki did this really stupid way to check the oil. I normally ask for help and check it when I have help around. If no help then I find a wall I can park next to and stand the bike against the wall and it is close to square and upright then really quick get down and look.....

Hey I don't know if there's already a thread about this but maybe there should be -- how do you guys check your oil? What I've been doing is with a mirror (and sometimes with a little flashlight in the same hand) I sit on the bike and I level it and check the sight glass to see the oil level that way. Seems like any other way is a two-man job.
