Can you check transmission oil while engine is cold and use same guidelines for checking level? I had the 1K service done and they put Redline shockproof in. I thought that the transmission shifts a bit louder...a more pronounced clunk....and the upshifts feel...well hard is a good description. Everything I have read is the Redline is supposed to provide less noise and a smoother shift
I forgot about this thread and when I checked tonight it looks like the level is down a little below the add line using the method mentioned in M1296. This was after bike had been sitting maybe 2 or 3 hours.
Do you get a different reading with it cold vs hot?
Any possible damage running it this way for the last few hundred miles or so?

MOCO has answered the question of how to check the fluid on a 6 speed, (DAWG posted the link in post #5) but is silent on the 5 speed...my service manual for a road king states standing straight up...warm...
