I was pleased to see the conveinence of a Oil SightGlass window on the new 250. My Nighthawk 750's only used a dipstick and I won't miss that.
Perhaps an owner with a manual could share what Honda recommends on reading the oil level on the new 250 with the SightGlass? I imagine with a small bike it should not be too difficult balancing the bike and holding it level while gauging a reading? Do you need to crouch down to read the SightGlass accurately while your balancing the bike or can you see it just fine standing? Engine supposed to be hot/cold? Etc...
I attached a picture of the SightGlass where you can see the low and high fill marks. Do you have to hold the bike pretty level to read it accurately? ...Or does the oil level slosh up and down much depending on if it is wavering a degree or two off center from level?
Just curious.
