xvs650a oil levels

I'm a biggish sort of bloke with arthritic knees and eyes that were at
their best some twenty odd years ago, so if you know the V star 650 at
all you'll understand my problems when it comes to checking the oil.
PLEASE some one tell me they've designed a dip stick so I don't have to
lie on my belly and check a sight glass I can barely see.

Thanks in anticipation of some help here.

1. Check oil level through sight glass with oil at correct level.

2. Obtain wooden stick. Or pencil.

3. Insert through filler hole.

4. Note oil level on stick (or pencil).

5. Mark stick (or pencil).

6. Keep stick (or pencil).

7. When the spirit moves you, take up stick (or pencil) and repeat 3.
Top up oil as necessary to achieve 4.

 

I solved the problem by going to my friendly autoparts store and
purchased a mechanics inspection mirror with an extendable handle.
works for me.

RCFlyr sed that!!
