Centre stand (on level straight ground)
Start bike
Leave running for 30-45 seconds
Let oil level adjust for a minute
There's your oil level.
If it's above the higher dot......you focced up.
If it's below the lower dot, discard your egg from your beloved cup and with 50% shots of oil top up as required and repeat the above steps until you are happy.
Clean egg cup with non poisonous cleaning stuff, ie: Fairy Liquid......rinse thoroughly......then reinsert egg and carry on with breakfast......apologising to soldiers for the delay!
It takes a lot quicker to do than it took me to write this, bearing in mind i was on my own mission at zero dark thirty last night and got home around 3.30am. :b
:lol :lol :lol :lol
FWIW a 50/100ml syringe plus tubeing should be in every bikers toolkit, useful for removing excess crankcase oil ,adjusting fork oil level....bleeding troublesome brakes...well worth the price of a pint.
