Ahem....

Where DID you get the idea that the sight glass meant anything when the bike is on the side-stand ??? :??:

It does NOT.

The sight glass is to be used ONLY when the bike is straight up, in the normal riding position. :oops:

Now you probably have about .3 qt. TOO MUCH in the bike.

The initial conditions you state: Bike straight up, oil barely visible in the bottom of the glass is really OK but on the verge of being low.......about .2 qt, not .4.
