Nothing hotter than a girl who likes using and knows how to use a wrench.

pull dipstick, wipe clean
reinsert dipstick, threading all the way in
pull out and check, should be between min and max.

and yes, if you leave it on the side stand, or if you check it cold, it will not even show up on the dipstick.

there have been a LOT of overfilled 1125R's.

yeah, it defiantly doesn't get checked (correctly) as often as it should.
I do pull it and just verify that there is some one the dipstick.

stupid thick 20-50 oil

if the "good news" is an 1125R, be sure to check out www.badweatherbikers.com
I've been on there since about a month before i got mine, and there is a LOT of good info on that bike. I don't post much, but read a lot.

and also, check the oil yourself before you ride away from the dealership. it's been known that the techs don't even know the correct procedure, but that is getting better.
