As long as you're consistent, it does not matter if you check it on the side or the center stand, just check it the same way all the time. Don't check it on the side stand one day and on the center another... Very wise men told me this, so it must be right!

One of the "add-ons" that I insisted on before picking up my ed80 from Bob's BMW was a center stand.

how do you check your oil level without a center stand?
You COULD attach a mirror to your left boot....
It worked in high school!!

Don't worry about funny engine noises. It's probably all in your head.

Funnily enough, I fondly refer to my pup as "The Tractor". Obviously when he can't hear, mind you
