The engine oil in any engine is supposed to be checked with the engine stopped.
Better still is to have it rest for some time if its just back from a spin so as to allow the oil to settle down.

It has a window, why would you need a dipstick in a sealed system.
I actually just changed the oil in my bike and found myself wondering this same thing. I ended up over filling cause when I started to run her I saw the oil in the window disapear. So I thought, This cant be right. But shut her off and the oil filled back up in the window after a bit.
So after you change the oil and oil filter, run her down the street and back, put her on the centerstand, wait an hour or so, come back, look at the window and see if you have a little bubble at the very top. Add or subtract as needed. Gotta fill up that oil filter after its been changed so you'll probably have to top it off.
hi buddy by the oil plug will be a number for example 70c /700cm2 this will mean 700ml or you can do it by looking at the oil sight glass should come 3/4 full but make sure you add more as the oil filter will be empty so that needs filling also remember before you drain the oil run the bike for 5 mins so the oil becomes thinner and all drains also dab some oil on the new oil filter seal buddy any more info get back to me
Hi Pete! I used to have a Xt 500 and loved it to bits, the oil filler then and presumably now is on the right side of the engine by the kick start (If you have one) it is a large black plastic screw topped item which will unscrew (Anticlockwise) to reveal a long shaft (Dip stick). There you go! Remember to keep bike upright to check level? Any concerns please get back to me! Paul 'W' Onyer~Edson(:0) [#>< Please rate my effort!
There are usually two methods to check the oil. One is a dipstick and the other is a sight-glass. You should have one or the other somewhere on the side of the engine crankcase. It should be fairly obvious and not require the removal of any body panels. If you can't find a dipstick in the side of the crankcase you will need to get down on your hands and knees and have a look for a sight-glass instead. This will be like a tiny window with a gauge against which you can check the level.
