01 RSV..is checking the oil really this tough?

I just changed the oil 2 days ago with 15w50 full synth and it seems to be just fine. I filled it to the point (on a rear stand of course) where i could see the oil almost to the full mark...is this correct???

yea but that's not exsactly what i was asking....where should the level be in the tube when the bike is cold (you're doing an oil change) and you're adding fresh oil to the bike???

Ah... i see what you mean now, on my bike the oil is only just visable in the tube (maybe 1/2 inch) take the bike for a 10 mile run then stop and look at the level with the bike upright and not on the side stand. Any more than about 2/3's up the tube and you will get oil passing into the airbox. If your oil level is near the max when it's cold then you have far too much in :thumbup hope this helps Mr Chow..
