Is this sight glass Honda 'retro?'
How long should the bike sit on the center stand after a ride before checking the oil level? Or put another way, if the bike is on the center stand cold, and oil appears to be toward the low side of the window, is this the time to add a bit of oil?
I've ridden for over 500,000 miles, and aside from one early Oilhead ('95 R1100RS) never had an issue determining oil level before starting out on a ride, or during a ride.
A dipstick would have been nice.
