Don't worry too much about it Casey...the oil does sometimes get caught up in the oil coolers..it's best to go with the side stand for a few minutes before putting it on the center stand to check the oil level...even when there's no oil to be seen there's still a lot there (below the sight glass)..I think we've all had that little scare.I put it on the center stand last night. This morning I check the oil and there is no oil in the window. So I read some posts about the weird rituals for checking your oil level (which are inconsistent at best!).
I just took it out to warm it up. I put it on the side stand about 5 minutes ago. I think I'll go out now and put it on the center stand and see if the level is up. If not, I guess I'll add a little oil (but I'm a little nervous about it).
