Ok don't laugh - how do you check the oil?
So I just picked up a 2006 KLX250s. It's used so I want to start going over a few things, replace plug, change oil + filter, etc..
but...
How do you check the oil level on this motor?
I see the filler hold but can't find a level window or dip stick of any kind. In addition, how much oil does it hold when changing?
Any help and/or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Its under the foot brake. Its just a little circle window. Make sure the oil level is between the two lines by the window. The engine takes 1.5qts of oil with a new filter, 1.4qts w/o new filter.
Make sure when you do change the oil. That you use the correct oil designed spefically for motorcycles. Not the automotive oil.

Start motor get oil hot, turn motor off let sit a few minutes. Now balance the bike as straight up&down as you can and peek at the oil level.....if too high suck some out with a syringe... if too low add some....Now repeat and check again.
Oh don't worry so much about the type of oil thing, just put in what the manual says for SAE and API requirements...the rest is hogwash.

Don't forget to check oil level when the bike is vertical.

Don't forget to check oil level when the bike is vertical, not on the side stand.

Remember, vertical for me is shooting for the sky at under 1,200 feet per second.
Don't worry too much if its slightly over the top line.
