    Spalomo81,

    Put your bike on the centerstand (not side stand); wait for it....the oil will drain back down and you will be able to read it. You should have a small air space just above the oil level which at max should be level with the outside full mark on the clutch cover. If you've put too much oil in it drain some of it out until it's at the proper level. You do not want to run your bike with too much oil in it. Hope this helps.
