Alright guys, Im relying on the old saying "no question is a stupid question" here!

-When should I check the oil level on my 99 X1? On cold engine or warm engine?

There is such a big difference that I want to make sure that Im doing it correctly.

Should be checked warm/hot ideally immediately after a ride

Do not fill to the full mark. Keep it half way between low and high. Check when hot, immediately after you shut off the engine.

I check mine with the bike straight, not on the side-stand. Not sure if it makes a big difference...
