Morning Gents & Gentesses, festive greetings & new year cobblers to everyone.
I've noticed on 2 separate threads on here when talking about checking one's engine oil level, that you should lay the bike down slightly, courtesy of the side stand, for a few minutes then onto the main stand......then check the oil level.
What is the significance of the 'lay down' part [hence ignorance rears it's ugly head once more].
My 1150GS on side stand leans at an alarming angle even with new bush & pin, so the oil must drain from somewhere? [going to 'puck' the foot on the side stand].
Appreciate your knowledgeable thoughts on the above, go easy, I'm only in my first year of GS ownership & knocking on a bit in age
