I have a 2005 Honda Shadow Aero VT750CA and want to know the proper way to check the oil level. Do you screw in the dip stick when chacking the oil or not? I have people tell me both ways. Some say screw it in to check the oil level and others say you do not.

I believe the bike needs to be level and recently started (so the oil filter has oil in it).

What is the right way?

Thanks,

Confused

 

welcome to the forum. Secure the dip stick to its secured driving conditon. ( screw it in snug )
