It's always been a pain when I wanted to check the transmission level in my bike because I always park on my table lift due to limited space in my garage. So today, I noted where the level was on the dip stick while parked on the jiffy stand, then parked on my table lift and made the comparison. So at least now I can check upright and be comfortable with the results. I actually thought the difference would be greater but the cavity on the sprocket side makes a bigger difference than I thought when its resting on the jiffy stand. Not sure why it's taken me all these years to note the difference.

 

yeah, long ago I tested my wife's trike and mine, same exact dipsticks and didn't notice any difference in levels..ever so slight anyways so it doesn't really matter
