              i read the oil change thread on this site and the amounts listed there match my Haynes manul. I measured it using a measuring jug.
              
 So is it best to check the oil with the bike upright, 5 mins after its been run for a little while?

         I then tend to check the level after a ride (not every!) - ie get off, take gear off, put kettle on, have a fag then time to check level.
