I'd checked the oil a few weeks ago (it was around the top of the scale) and there wasn't any dripping out in my shed or when the bike was standing, but when I checked it after the engine had cooled off a bit, it was right down the bottom of the scale. It was on a bit of a slope and canted over, but I don't think that should have made that much of a difference to the level.

The FZ6 has a dipstick, not a sight glass.
I've just checked again where it's standing in my shed and although it's not been run since yesterday (normally I'd run it for a few minutes to circulate the oil and then leave it for 5-10 minutes to let it settle), there's only about 3/8" at the bottom of the dipstick, so lot of oil has gone somewhere
