**picture attached** When the bike is lifted/set on a rear stand, is it weird/bad when the oil level indicates "very low"? (just rear stand, not front)

**picture attached** Anyone have or know what socket head size I need to loosen/adjust my handles?

Even with the rear on a stand if its very close to being leveled I would say add oil. Also is that level reading after you run. It and let it sit or just cold?

1. Run bike for a couple of minutes, shut it off, let it sit for 5 minutes, then check oil when the bike is level and not on a rearstand.

2. Are you talking about your handlebars? There should be an allen bolt under the triple tree there, but as far as adjusting in and out most sportbikes have a tab that lines up the handlebars with the triple tree at the correct angle.

Yea what he said. I think the your looking at your preload and rebound adjustment. If your needing help seting up the ergonomics of you bike let me know I can give you some help.

If you want to come to Boulder today (Sunday) you can get that stuff done, just bring some of your own oil or if you want to do a full oil change bring that (typically 4 quarts, filter, and possibly a crush washer). Adjusting your handlebars would be simple. Maybe do a brake fluid flush and adjust/clean your chain too while you're here (I have that stuff).

I'll be working on my bike too so it won't be a bother. Text or call my number in the signature.
