As far as the oil level, be sure to check the site glass while the bike is upright.

Lesson learned the hard way: When checking the oil level, not only should the bike be upright but it should be level front-to-back too. Just finished a 1200 mile trip and although I added a couple of ounces about half way, it now appears that it really used almost none at all.........and I would have been OK not adding any.
