Oil Level Viewing Glass Query

I think you're over-thinking the concern? Ensure the bike is on a Level surface !! Note the significant differences between "level", on the side-stand @ 7 degrees and on a "shimmed" side-stand @ 2 degrees off level ! The required level of adequate oil is referenced by the sight-glass. You could have a sump that held 10 liters of oil but the required level relative to the Base of the engine block would be the same. Same principle as the fuel-bowl level. The bowl could be 6" deep but the required level of fuel relative to the base of the carb-body doesn't change.

Well that's an eye opener!!! Will check straight away. Thank you .

I can't see through mine.
Does anyone know how to get them out to clean them pls?

This has come up before. I used the "Search" tab and queried with "oil level glass" and found this topic.

Oil Level Glass Seal

This sight glass shares a cover with the clutch and gear shaft, so am hesitant to break the seals.
Its 40mm diameter and has 2.3 marked on one side and NOK on the other.
I have made a dipstick to improvise.
