oil change in a 1500 kawasaki

To check your oil level, with the engine off and the bike upright and level, look at the lower right hand side (as you sit facing forward on the bike) low on the engine crankcase for a small round glass window about one (1) inch in diameter. With the A/B/L, you’ll need someone to sit on the bike to hold it upright OR practice holding the front brake lever with your right hand as you bring the bike carefully to an upright position. You then have to get down on your knees and look down over the exhaust pipe at the oil level window at the bottom of the engine. In the window you will see a vertical black line about 1/8th of an inch wide going from the bottom to the top of the window. The "line" is a slit in the crankcase through which oil flows filling the oil indicator window. To the right of the window are letters "H" and "L" embossed on the metal at the top and bottom of the window which are the high and low oil level indicators, respectively. Your oil level must be between these two markers, preferably close to the "H" without the oil level going over this line. You want to avoid over filling of the oil crankcase.
