Re: [St] Oil level

[George K <gkeslin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I put mine (02 ST) on my Handy table to measure.  I don't feel 
comfortable either holding it up without a stand by myself or bending 
down trying to get the dip stick out while in the saddle (something 
about being vertically challenged).  I've tried to get the wife to sit 
on the bike so I can check it but that'll happen about the same time the 
Cubs win the World Series. heh..heh...
