middle of glass...
When you change the oil, use exactly 3 quarts of oil with filter!!!...That will put you at the top of the glass...
Yeah I know I said middle but the extra 4 ounces of oil is not going to rob horse power!!!

I run with a little bubble visible at top of glass. Yeah yeah, I know this is overfilling a tad, but I want to prevent oil starvation issues during wheelies, stoppies, cornering, heavy braking from high speed, etc. etc. Also will help w/clutch wetting & oil cooling on hot days...

Remember to check the oil level with both tires on the ground, not on the rear stand. Middle level is a good happy medium between protection and performance.
