Well... even if you were checking the sight glass with the bike on the kickstand, that would fool you into thinking the bike was full of oil when it actually wasnt... So never mind.
You just had a senior moment Jonathan. Checking the oil level with the bike on the side stand will show a low level. Topping it up to show a full level will actually overfill it. Oil should always be checked with the bike upright. Just wanted to clear that up.
Which side is the sight glass on again?...Thanks for clearing that up. It's been a long time. I'm shopping again, though. Anyway...
God, I can't go around giving bad advice. I'll ruin my good name!
