    OK, quick question.

    When checking the oil level through the window should the bike be on its side stand or center stand?

    You put it on the side stand. Stand on the same side of the bike that the side stand is on and lift the wheels off the ground so only the sidestand is supporting it. This will allow you full view of the oil level window. You must make sure that the bike is parallel with the ground for proper reading. It took me a while to master this, but it CAN be done.
