Put it on the center stand & level should be between the low & high marks on the sides of the site glass, BUT do not pay any attention to what it shows! cause it is never the same. Mainly:: when you change oil & replace filter & drain BOTH drain plugs then replace drain plugs and filter, then put in exactly 3qts 22oz , no more , no less, That way you know that it has correct amt in it. The window at that time may show low and the next time you look, it may show high. If you look at it before you change oil it may have to much in it if it is covering the whole window. Oil expands after it heats up and the amt from bottom of window & top of window is only about 6oz. XII's do not burn oil or leak any significant amt. A good oil to use is Rotella T, available at Walmart $13.00 gal. or auto parts stores 4 to 5 thousand mi between changes is fine depending how you drive it. All hyway 5000mi a lot of city & heat 4000mi. The only stupid question is the one not asked!! ride safe. Enjoy your XII it is a great bike!!! It has many adjustments on it to make it right for just you.. ask away!!!
