Is there any way to check the oil level?
Also, how much is too much or too little?
Background: had to replace the clutch. Tried to reuse chaincase gasket - yes, bad idea I know but there were extenuating circumstances. Naturallt it leaked so, new gasket went in today. Have one fresh bottle of +1 and one with 14oz. Dry fill calls for 45oz. I think I reserved that odd ounce but wanna be sure a half ounce- or even a whole ounce - one way or the other, isn't gonna hurt anything.
Would the green line be on the jiffy stand?
I didn't put it on a lift just to change the gasket. My level is just a smidgen short of that with what I think is 45oz. It's just over the lip of the bottom of the spring plate.
If you don't have lift, put the jiffy stand on a piece of 2x4, be weary of putting pressure on the left side of the bike. 45 ozs. dry fill and 38 ozs. wet fill.
