These things measure all over the place , I genuinely believe that's why some people have issues.


I agree. If you check the oil in the same place and in the same way every time it will be consistent.

absolutely correct.

I service my own bike. The last oil change was 4 qt 6 oz to set it at 3 dots down when cold. Then take it to full operating temp to give it its only hot check during the life of this oil change. 1 dot down full hot. After that I only do cold checks. Once a week if I’m staying in the local area. Every morning if I’m on a trip. I’ve always checked my oil this way.
