To be sure , it's a pain in the neck to check the sight glass for proper oil level. I started checking mine this way......With a known correct level of oil, I set the kickstand on a 2X6 and start an already warmed up engine. Then, at idle, check the oil level sight glass. My oil level is dead center of the sight glass at idle.
Just curious if anyone else checks their 800 this way.

I don't think you can get an accurate reading with the motor running. I could be wrong, it has happened before. :-[
Anyway I think there is more oil in the motor than shows when it is running as the oil will be circulating in the motor.
