I was going to write "RTFM," but both the Triumph user's manual and 
workshop manual are ambiguous about how the oil level is checked. Neither 
actually say that the bike shouldn't be on the centrestand, but at the same 
time, the bike can't really be "level" unless it's sitting on its 
tires--front and rear.

For that reason I think the level should be checked with the bike off the 
centrestand. Then the sight glass works just fine--just like it says in the 
FAQ.
