Remember that on later models, check the oil with the machine on the jiffy stand. The general rule of thumb is that if your bike has a swivel type dipstick, you should check the oil level with the bike on the side stand.

Thanks to all who took the time to reply. I've only been a Forum member for a short while and have already gleaned a lot of useful/helpful info here.

Thanks again, guys.
