Lowered Bike Oil Level

[busanewb]

What's your method for checking the oil level on lowered bikes?

My bike is currently lower about an inch in the rear than it is the front. Well I went to check my oil level and it reads full but I saw on here the bike should be leveled. So when I leveled the bike it shows almost to the low mark on the site glass.

My guess is I was running the bike low on oil for several hundred miles... kind of makes me cringe..

So what's yalls method, and what's your thoughts on the oil level being so low for so many miles?

If it was just almost to the low mark I would say your golden.

Yeah, I would interpret that as low WITHIN the normal operating range rather than having too little oil necessarily. You should be totally fine.

If you never saw the oil light come on, no problem. I guess I'd stick a board under the rear tire to check oil from here on in.
