Potentially dumb ass oil based question...

Wondering if one of you fine folks would mind going and taking a wee look at your SD oil tank for me?
I'm trying to decide if my sight tube is one colour as it's completely empty, or one colour as it's over full...
I can see a wee bit of oil if I look in the top of the sump through the filler cap hole thing on the left hand side.
Could one of you guys have a wee squint and see how much, if any, you can see on that side.
Just wondering if I need to top her up or not.
Haven't really looked for a couple of weeks, as she had her 13.5k service when they were replacing the fuel pump around the middle to end of October, about a 1000 miles ago.
She is up on my abba stand at the minute whilst I play with my horn.

Fnar.

Cheers.

take her of the stand, lean a bit to the right. your tube should be empty. lean to the left, it should be full. i usually top up if bike is on kick-stand and the tube is empty or almost empty. with oil topped up, when the bike is on kickstand, the tube is full.
hope this helps, my girl is all wrapped up for winter, + i'm at work right now...

Cheers bud, top tip!

Off to Halfrauds to buy some bit's and pieces like my third foccin' Nautalis horn, I'll take her off the stand and have a wee look when I get back.
Gotta love these short foccin' days and using an inspection lamp to see what yer doing....

Enjoy work!
