How to check motorcycle oil?

Where do you check the oil on a Honda GL1100 Goldwing Motorcycle?

• Answer:

  Yes, the 1100. On the right side, where the oil filler cap is, if you look down there you will see a little window with a screw head in the center of the glass. Its a little hard to see, but its there. The best way is to have the bike on the center stand, have someone start the engine for you, and with as flash lite pointed to the window, have that person stop the engine, you will see the oil settle down and be able to see where the level is in the glass. A bit primative, but that's the best way. The 1200's got lucky and have a dip stick.
