In case anyone else is wondering how much to add when at the add mark. I added 2 ounces and that brought it up to the middle of the add and full marks. I guess the next time I change it I better look and see where it is on the stick. Since I put in the correct amount when I change it I don't even bother to look at the stick, my mistake.

Are you following the fluid level check instructions in your bike's owner's manual?

Yes per service manual with bike on jiffy stand, cool engine and do not screw stick back in when checking fluid level. I'll keep an eye on it while I'm on my road trip.
