There is a cap on the bottom left-hand side of the bike, but there is no dipstick? Am I looking in the right area?
My mate has a CBR250RR and this where it is on his bike.

That's exactly what i thought when i bought my zx6r!
turned out the gauge is a bit lower, looks similar to the break fluid gauge

The bike needs to be level and you'll be looking for a window similar to the one in the picture.

they'll tell ya bikes have no dipsticks period.
i couldn't find it on my zzr for ages either. and boy did i cop shit for bein an idiot.]
thankfully diesel informed me there's a little sight glass below where you poor the oil in.
levels need to be between upper and lower points

Unless you buy a pre-RR CBR600 or an R6.

diesel posted that... I think he was still pissed from gregs birthday.
had a good laugh when I found this thread (so did greg and diesel when I showed em), cos of all the shit we gave diesel when he posted asking where the dipstick was on his zx2 many moons ago.

can't give you exact directions. it'll be on the right, down on the sump (lower part of the engine)
Look for a little 20c piece sized round window.

Yep, that's the filler cap. watch the window lower down on that side to see the oil level. Keep the bike upright or it will miss read the level and don't forget it takes the oil while to drain down.

This isn't true for all bikes - I hade an 86 yam that had no sight glass, but did have a dipstick fitted to the bottom of the oil filler cap.
