guys, any idea how to level the bike when checking fluids when there is ony u.

 

If no lift, wood under jiffy

 

Mine stays level, but a wooden wedge under the jiffy stand works great.

 

Engine fluids are checked on the side stand

 

is this a 06.....sposta check it on the jiffy stand

 

I think a 2 x 4 under the jiffy stand sufficiently levels the bike to check fluids.

Anybody disagree?

 

Don't you have any friends............or an 'ol lady?

 

Correct, the bike has to be on the stand to correctly check fluids,

 

"For pre-ride inspection, with the motorcycle leaning on jiffy stand on level ground, oil should register on dipstick between arrows when engine is cold. DO not add oil to bring the level to the FULL mark on a cold engine."

Cold engine=center of add/full. Hot engine=dot on full side of stick.

 

oil check is with bike on kickstand.
trans and primary / bike straight-up(2x4 under kickstand)
