It's on the lower ight hand side of the bike. I'm suprised the dealership didn't give you a once over with the bike.

Good luck.

No you are not stupid, i hate the stupid eye glass myself and wish Honda would do away with the eyeglass and go back to the dipstick, its more reliable and correct.

Good luck.
My sales person passed me off to an idiot. When the dumbass was showing me my bike, I asked him where the site glass was he didn't even know. When I asked him to show me how to take the seat off for access to the battery he didn't know that either. He had to get one of the mechanics in the shop to show me. Check this one out, he told me my bike had 5 gears [sm=wtf.gif].

Anyway, the site glass is way at the bottom on the right side. That little cut out in the faring, you were probably wondering what the hell is that for, well that's it to look through to the site glass!

HTH

I think of it as a "right side fairing repair kit" sales gimmic, cause it's likely quite a few guys will drop their bikes once at some time trying to steady the thing whilest peering down trying to see their oil level. And then Honda gets to sell a new side fairing kit!!!!!![:@][sm=rant.gif]

be Carfull mine is off the lines are not a correct measure if it is not exactly in the middle I have too much oil but if it is a little low there isn't enough. So I just put in 3 1/3 quarts and go with that.

I have a question about that. What happens if you put a little too much? And do you guys have to add oil between changes?

How much is "a little too much"?? That makes a difference.
