I think the explanatory thread is in the M3W section .... not a 3 wheeler myself but I think it's the oil level check in the M3W oil tank ..... relates to a query from an owner.

Yes get it between the marks and not over the top mark. The engine is a dry sump one so you should run the engine first to ensure all the oil is scavenged back to the tank.
