How to check (dip) the oil on Honda Goldwing 2018 DCT on the centre stand with a 2 x 4, makes it easy. Oil must be running temp. Engine off for 2 mins.
That's clever. What I do is put a paper towel in the front storage compartment. I come to a stop on a level surface and remain on the bike. After the obligatory 2-3 minutes I reach down and remove the dipstick, clean it with my paper towel, and check the oil.

No need to raise the front !!!!! Center stand on leveled ground you are totally fine. I already checked both ways. it is the same. Just make sure you follow the time required to check the oil after engine is off by the book and you are good. The bottom line is, the oil level should be between the upper and lower mark.....that's it. Mine is always around 75% up between the lines with 4.6L of oil. Please check Trexxion Dynamics great kit to attach to the dip stick knob. Its fantastic. Happy riding.

Great info but, I would think if the back wheel is 1.75" off the ground you would want to lift the front 7/8" to make it level. Just sayin.

Service manual says centerstand model place the bike on its centerstand on a level surface. It does not mention anything about blocking up the front wheel.

Other non-Honda products make electric level and temperature check dipstick replacements available. Why couldn’t Honda engineer something similar to work properly on the center stand? In this way, do you suspect many would then easily check the oil level much more often?

My 2021 owner’s manual only says “upright on a level surface” That’s too vague for such an expensive machine. My dealer told me at my initial tutorial to put the bike on centerstand on a level surface. He said nothing about shimming the front wheel so I’m still a bit uncertain/confused. I’m not saying your advice is wrong, I’m just saying I’m just not sure what is right. Honda should have done a better job at explaining such a crucial measurement !

I only have 40,000kms but no smell. Are you sure you didn't spill some oil? Have you run the DCT initialization program???

@@jj-kb5hr can't call but follow this video and re-intilize the DCT transmission. It can't hurt anything. Just make sure the bike oil is to running temperature.
