Don't be so hard on yourself. There's no such thing as a stupid question.

Look here in the archives:
http://www.listquest.com/lq/search.html?ln=klr650
and enter search phrases such as "sight glass"; "oil level"... and report
back to us.

Dust,
YOU KNOW BETTER!!!
Now behave yourself. I like a heated debate as much as the next guy, but
that horse is dead.
The archives are the only place to find this information. I too had these
questions and the archives were very helpful. I'll tell you though while
reading a couple of those posts... I could just picture a pump shotgun
getting chambered. Lighten up guys... breathe deeply... smile big and
relax, think of a happy place. But don't start trading on-line.

I say just fill the damn thing up to the top of the sight glass (2.5 US
quarts) and be happy.
My reasoning? 43,000 miles of trouble-free operation while doing so.
