How do you check the oil level on a 04 VTX 1800.... While on the kickstand or in the upright riding position?

Answer 1

this is relatively easy . you would want to check the bikes oil level in a up right position of course on the service stand on level ground not on the kick stand . when checking the oil level you will want to screw the dip stick in and check the oil level or look in the eye glass most people check the eye glass when the engine is running but i have always using the glass while the engine is in the off position i am sure if you called the dealership and asked they would give you the right directions to do so or check with the bikes service/owners manual and best of luck

Answer 2

Always check oil levels with the bike standing upright, and be sure the oil level is at the top 3/4 of the bubble also, if it looks like oil is on the bottom of the level, you may be very low on oil.

Answer 3

The motorcycle should be on a level upright riding position.

Answer 4

Upright.

Answer 5

It seems like if you own the machine you should know how to check the oil. If you have to ask go to the dealer and find out for sure, or check the owner manual.. Actually, I would go to a dealer that sells them and ask!!! That way you will get the proper advice and instructions.
