daahar Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi, I came to check the oil level on my 400 virago yesterday. Only to find the filler cap doesn't have a dipstick attached, and I cannot see a viewing window. I was just wondering if anyone could point the obvious out of how I check the level Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterC Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Not sure of your type but there is a 'window' on my xvs650 but you have to get down to ground level to see it. It is under the gear change. A small torch is useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daahar Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Ah! Brilliant I am just blind that's good. Sorry, but if it is all the same colour then there is sufficient oil in there? I'm lost without a dipstick (the oil should be fine, had an oil and filter change with the service about 3months ago I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterC Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 on the ring around the window there are upper and lower marks which equate to full and min levels. The bike has to be upright - my bike has to be upright - for this to operate correctly - no good on sidestand. If your glass is full it may be overfull. Yes, give me a dipstick like I had on the ybs125 any time cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
