             Checking oil on paddock stand 
 
             Hi All,
            
 May well be a dumb question, if so I apologise in advance!
 
 I've read previous forum threads on the process to check oil in the XT600X - so I went for a ride, brought the bike home, popped it on a paddock stand and cleaned the chain quickly while it was still warm...then opened the dipstick to check oil, and oil came pouring out. (prob 5 minutes after stopping the engine).
 
 Was it just that the bike was at too much of an angle on the paddock stand, or was it potentially over-filled by the dealer? (I got the bike on Wednesday, so my first maintenance morning).
 
 (Yes, I know not to lube the chain while it's warm - I'll do that later on...cleaning a warm chain is much easier though!)
 
 Thanks in advance!
 Grant
