I just picked up an 05 600rr yesterday. Can somebody please tell me how to check the oil level?

 

Let me see if I remember correctly, THere is a little circular window on the bottom right hand side that you have to tilt the bike towards you to see the oil

 

is it near the little whole where you actually pour the oil into?

 

You owners manual will show you on page 12 and 13 a drawing that list several important components. Page 103 will list Checking & Adjusting Oil. You have to check the oil when the bike is warm, start it for 3 to 5 minutes and turn it off. Wait a couple of minutes and have someone help you if you can. Have your helper hold the bike as level as possible so you can kneel down and check the level. The oil level should be near the top of the window. I've added a picture showing you where to look in case you do not have you owners manual.

Hmmmm, my level is at the center, not at the top. I just had my oil changed too.

 

As long as the oil is visible in the window, you're safe. The low mark is at the bottom of the window and the high mark is near the top so there is some room for play. I keep mine as close as possible to the high mark which will leave a little space at the top.

 

thanks all, appreciate the help
