What's your handbook say?

I thought there had been several long threads on the subject of oil levels and sight glasses mon the forum in the recent past.

jenks, I merely made the link posted earlier "live."

Very clear video; a lot more like that needed for all sorts of things!

Just yesterday I watched a video about putting electronic instead of normal ignition points on my car (the condensor had kept failing and was driving me mad) It was SO easy to do after that.
Pictures painting 1,000 words etc...

Here we are in the year 2017, and we have to go through this absurd exercise just to check the oil level. Surely (Shirley) if you are American) some levelling holes could have been cast between all these reservoirs so the oil flowed through the holes and settled at one level. I am not familiar with the purpose of this design; maybe lubrication would be compromised if the oil was at the same level down there, who knows?

My 2016 Reg CGT 535 is a pig to check the oil level, you have to go thru a procedure to get an accurate check on the oil level, Yet my 2017 bullet does not have a problem, leave the 2017 bike on its side stand as long as you like and when you stand it upright you can see the oil flood into the sight glass to get an easy accurate level check, Looks like this problem was recognised and mods were done in 2016 to correct this problem, so would depend on age of engine or is there some difference between the 500 and 535 engines.
