Correct Oil sight window correct level on motorcycle?
I have a Honda cbr600rr 2014 and I use hp4s oil 3 quarters. I changed my oil for the first time this spring and I never checked the oil after the first two days for leaks and so on and today I saw through the window that the oil is in the middle and was all the way on the top. No leaks no bad color no nothing. Am I burning oil or am I low. I will attach a picture. Thank you
When you first change the oil the level will be higher because the filter will be empty and oil will have drained from the oil lines and head.
So once started the level will drop which is why you should check it after the first ride and top up to the appropriate level.
Engine oil should be checked with the engine OFF and the bike standing straight up on two wheels, NOT leaning on the side stand. Oil level should show straight across the middle of the sight glass.
Have you noticed how your bike leans over when it's on its sidestand? The angle of the dangle kinda dun matters as to whar da oil be in da sight glass. Check the manual, Some bikes are supposed to be on their sidestand when the sight glass is checked, and some are supposed to be straight up. Sorry about the reading. It is a terrible burden.
That rough centered oil level between notches would be about right level on my Suzi IF ON CENTER STAND OR UPRIGHT. If properly check at level as owners/operator manual specs, then good to go probably.
Do you have a Honda cbr600rr 2014 owner's manual? Because that will tell you all kinds of really important information including how to read your oil level.

- Power steering fluid keeps going below minimum level in my 2015 Honda Pilot? Hi, I drive a 2015 Honda Pilot which I bought in June of this year. Since then, I've had to refill power steering fluid 3 times because it falls below minimum level after a short period. I have not seen any fluid drops on the ground. I will bring the car to the dealership but is there anything I can do besides refilling the fluid again, so I don't have to make tbe trip to the dealership?
- What level should my motorcycle fuel floats be at? I have a 96 Honda rebel CMXC250 with twin carbs that started leaking gasoline. What level should I adjust the fuel floats to? Please answer my question instead of telling me what else you think is wrong with my bike. And no "google it" answers. Thats obvious but doesn't always work, if you don't know the answer then don't say anything.
- How is the noise level inside a late model Honda Fit with CVT? I have the FIT on my short list for a retirement vehicle when my 2004 Focus dies on me. Some people say the transmission is noisy and I wonder what other people think about it. I really like the amount of safety tech on the 2018 model but I do not want a car any noisier than my 2.3L Focus.
