Checking the oil

[chronoman]

Ok, this might sound like a dumb question, but my motorcycle manual does not say.
I have a 87 GS450L, to check the oil should the oil stick/plug be screw in and then unscrew and check, or should I unscrew the plug clean the stick lay the plug with out screwing it in and then check?
It does not have a sight glass.

Suzuki factory repair manual specifies that the dip stick is NOT screwed in. Just stick it in down to the threads and pull it back out. In - out, repeat as often as necessary.

Right. And don't forget to add enough oil as well.
