Left side, right above the kickstand. Put it on the centerstand and let it sit overnight. Then check it.

Re: oil site glass
When changing oil, refill with 3qts 22oz after draining BOTH drain plugs and filter, then forget about the site glass, it will flat lie to you.

Re: oil site glass
Hi griffersZ1,
I was also told to use a torque wrench on both the drain plugs and oil filter bolt. Careful do
not over tighten, As the good people cautioned me before I changed my bikes oil for the first time!
Have a good time/ lots of fun with your bike!
