Checking Oil
First, I've done some searches and haven't found my answer, so please don't flame me.
Bike = 2008 Ultra
I've heard some folks say to check the oil, just unscrew it, wipe of oil and re-insert the stick into the hole, don't screw it back in to the base.
I read in the manual, sort of poorly written, but seems to say, screw it back in, unscrew it and then check.
Just confused. \\; Help would be appreciated. \\; I know this a small thing, but what's the real story.
Thanks.

Last sentence of para 2.
"...with the plug screwed completely into the fill spout."
