Nice. I was just kneeling on the side and balancing it upright with my seat on the hand*... quite precariously. I think the best way is to have someone else check it or balance the bike for you stradling it of course. *I'm leaving that typo cuz its funny.

Thanks guys! This seems like a decent place to hang around. I just got this bike last summer as my first bike. I'm looking forward to puting some significant mileage on her this season, and learning as much as I can. Next year I plan up getting a bigger bike.

Haha, well thank you renegade. Sorry for asking a dumb question but I just wanted to be sure. I am new to this stuff. At least I got one useful answer so if I think of any more dumb questions I'm gonna have to ask! Feel free to award me with more "Assclown Awards"! BTW, Eddy, what is BingBong. And my roommate asked a good question: How do you suck something with your leg?

Hi All, I have a 1988 xv250. According to the manual the bike should be positioned "straight up" when checking the oil. Is this true or should it be on the sidestand? Thanks.
