when reading the dipstick what amount of oil is between the bottom level mark on dipstick and the top level mark? I'm the king of overfilling sadly guess I'm used to cars still

No, you are not the king of overfill.
Beloved member megb filled his oil up to the threads on the dip stick and over heated his engine by working the moving parts through this colossal overfill for some time before asking why his engine was having issues The post made me laugh but hopefully his new scoot survived the incident.

I know exactly what you are seeing, watch me try and fail several times. It creeps up if you don't hold in a downward position or you touch it on the tunnel pulling out.

It's one or 2 ounces between the lowest # and the highest #, give it a 360° twist when you lay it on top of the threads and read the average

When you check your oil first make sure your bike is on the center stand. Take the dip stick out and wipe it off. Then put it back in but do not screw it in. Pull it out and check the level. The level should be between the hi and low marks. Simple.

lol not on my scooter. I realy thought it was like a half quart between marks lol and on mine one side read normal the other side reads low

watching the video it reminded me of checking the oil in my Honda lawn mower, always difficult to see where the level is.

Perhaps a longer neck and longer dipstick would make checking much easier - it is tucked away and awquard to check and fill up, especially as Honda say check evey day
