If you install the proper restrictor ($14 from our host), you will be able to check your oil with the cap off.

The crazy thing is the Huge space between the Top and Bottom mark is about 1 Quart and mine being on the Tip at the Bottom I KNEW it would take 2 Quarts! If you have no Sipon or vacuum can then leave the engine cold and using a big pan that you have marked where 1 quart will fill it to, then drain the Oil for a very short period of time.
If you are too high in Oil the Excess oil will go into your Airbox under hard cornering and you WILL see SMOKE! You just reminded me to post about the engine stopping when I remove the Oil Cap.
