GSX R 1000 OIL LEVEL
How do you check oil level on the gsxr 1000 engine, is there a sight glass or dip stick? looked at a car at weekend & owner didnt know said his
mechanic does it.

Cynical me would ask myself... how often does 'his mechanic' check it, change the oil and look at all the other things on such vehicles
that need constant attention. Further cynicism would develop around the concept of talking to someone about a car, that he clearly knows so little
about (myriad of reasons for that observation, none of them would make me feel positive about it all).
Anyway - sight glass on the side of the cover. If it's wet-sumped you should see lots of oil, overfilled. Mention 'baffle plate' and
see what reaction/answer you get.
If it's dry-sumped, there shouldn't be any oil visible, it should be in the oil tank.

You have stated oil in sight glass for wet sump, and no oil in sight glass for wet sump.... Assume you meant no oil in sight glass for dry sump?
