Re: [ST] Measuring Oil Level With Dipstick (2002 RS)

[Colt4530 <colt4530@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Straddle the bike and hold it upright.  Remove and wipe the dipstick. 
Reinsert and screw fully home.  Remove and check the level.  It should 
be anywhere in the "x" zone.  Just below the horizontal mark above the 
upper X is maximum.
