Hi all,

I am a guzzi newbie. I have a LM5 and want to be sure I'm checking the oil correctly.

On centre stand should I be aiming for the upper mark on the dipstick? When I got it the oil level was just above the lower mark, had recently had an oil change.

Cheers
 
The bike will find it's own level. Best to keep it between the full and add mark. If you fill all the way to the fill mark, she will probably just blow out what is too much. If you do fill to the full mark, the level will go down so far and then stop. That will be the level to fill to in the future. On my Mk V when I do a change with filter, I just put in 3 US quarts. After that it stays between the full and add mark without adding any oil until the next scheduled change.
 
Good luck with your endevours and the MkV. What "look " are you trying to achieve .
Have a squizz at the pics of the one I sold recently, they're in the pics section page 21 from memory.
