Allways check oil and other levels with the bike on NO stand.
Put the bike on the side stand, then go over to the right side of the bike 
and pull it towards you (delicately). At a certain point you will "feel" 
the point of balance. Now you are ready to check your oil-level.
You can allways ask somebody to be ready just in case you would pull the 
bike too much towards you.

About chain tension: I allways proceed as follows: Put the bike on the side 
stand, stand to the left side of the bike, place your belly on the saddle 
and push the rear of the bike down. If you have minimum 2cm it's OK.

If you place a Scottoiler, you don't need all that: on my Trophy I had one 
for 20.000 km, never had to tension the chain between two services or tyre 
replacements. It's really worth the investment.

Just a few questions to members of the list. Can the oil level and coolant 
level be checked with the bike on the center stand or should the bike be on 
the side stand?. Also  is the chain to be adjusted to the 35-40mm with the 
bike on the center stand ? Will the weight of a person make this to 
tight?The manual was not to clear on this.  Any recomendations for a good 
flat repair kit?And finally back to the subject of warm weather riding 
gear. What do people wear. People in Texas? Dennis?
