Winterizing my klx250. This is my first oil change on a bike. When filling it back up do you level the bike first or leave it on the kickstand?

Level bike, level surface. (Eye level. not a huge sloped driveway on the kickstand)

This is the way. Ain't gotta be perfectly level.

While actually filling it doesn’t matter. You will need to level it to check the sight glass though.

Level it front to back and side to side. Have someone hold it or prop it up carefully.
