Yes, it was overfilled lol, should of thought of that. :wall
Was in my back garden, nice and level, and on centre stand.
Ah well, thanks all for your replies, I'm sure I'll be calling on your expertise in the near future again.
You should normally check it when warm or you get a higher reading as all the oil drains out of the head etc.

Really?!?! I've always checked mine cold? When it's running there's no oil in the window? When it's off/cold I have it half way up the window, that's how I've always had every bike??
