Let it settle for 1/2 hour and use that as your guide, if you try too hard to get a perfect level when you look/measure after 1 day you will start to get oil light flash on fast acceleration.
Erm, no, don't let it settle for half an hour, 'cos that would be wrong!
Do it the way I said above.

Can you imagine taking your bike into a shop for an oil change and they charged you 30mins labour for waiting for it to settle? :rollin
