just picked up a new Bonnie and was wondering how to tell the fount brake fluid and oil levels with the clear windows. My oil one looks black (or empty) and the brake fluid one looks.... well the same. Are you supposed to see much though these things? obviously the dealer would have had these topped up but im just curious if anyone else cares.

the oil window should appear about 1/2 full, when the bike is level with both wheels on the ground. On the kickstand, it'll appear empty.
The master has almost perfectly clear fluid, so its hard to see, but should also be in the site glass , when it is level.
