I have a brand new zx-25r and I drove it all around town today, and I didn't see any oil on the sight glass and freaked out. I sat the bike straight up and down then i saw adequate oil. Thanks man

Just to let everyone know, the best way to do this is to have the bike in first gear with the kickstand down and then carefully grab the handlebars and move it center while off the bike. People have dropped their bike by being on the bike while trying to see the oil gauge.

Don't put the bike in 1st gear, it will take off on you. Don't even turn the bike on, just add oil while it's off.

Always replace oil and oil filter when doing this maintenance. You really need two 10w-40 bottles.

You need to check the oil when the bike is OFF. If you are trying to be really accurate, you should run the bike until the engine is warm. Once warmed up, then you should turn the bike off and let the oil settle. Then with the bike off you can take your reading. Good luck!

Yes. it is most accurate to check the oil level after the engine is warm. (not cold). So running it for a couple minutes at idle is recommended. Then shut it off and check the level on the glass.

My bike doesn't have a sight glass, only a dipstick. How do I know how much oil I should add?
@FarReachFR

if it has a dipstick, the stick itself should have a hashed area at the end, indicating the low and high fill marks, or dots, or lines, to indicate upper and lower levels.

Oh my god bro, yesterday i did my own maintenance with the official kawasaki full synthetic stuff, my ninja 2015 drained all 3 quarts. I said well, that was awkward...then i was in a tunnel where the air is not too cold and some red light appear on the dash. I got out of the tunnel and the red light disappear. Today i removed like 400ml of oil or something with your videos, please some advice bro!!!!!
@FarReachFR

hmm. According to the Ninja 300 manual the oil capacity of the engine is only 2.5 quarts. I am not sure if that includes the filter capacity or not. If you did not change the filter there is likely hood that you over filled it. Theoretically that can cause problems. Did you check the oil level at rest and bike straight up? Is it between the upper and lower marks now that you removed 400 ml?
