Oil dipstick markings confusion (MIN, MAX and middle notch

Hi guys, sorry if this is a basic question, but while comparing the service manual with the oil dipstick I actually have on my bike, I have a small doubt. Are the MIN and MAX markings shown in the picture correct? If so, why is there an additional notch in the middle? The photo was taken with the dipstick just wiped dry.

I found this video and it confirms what most of you said: the minimum mark is correct, and the maximum is the ‘???’ mark.

“Thanks everyone!” 🙌

Hey guys, I’ve been riding for about a year now (first an MT-07 and now an Aprilia RS660) and I’ve got a pretty annoying issue.

When I need to upshift, I notice that my knee near the tank kind of gets in the way / slows down / interferes with my foot movement getting under the shifter to go up a gear. This mostly happens at higher speeds, where I tend to grip the tank a bit tighter, or on rough roads.

I’ve noticed that if I sit further back on the seat I feel a lot better — basically my butt ends up touching (not hitting or fully resting on) the step in the seat (the one between the rider seat and the passenger seat).

My question is: is it actually correct to sit that far back? Am I too far back on the seat? Or should I be sitting more forward and adjust how I position my foot for shifting?

I had this issue slightly on the MT-07, but it’s much more noticeable on the RS660.

I’m 1.76m tall and weigh around 76/77kg.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Hi guys, I just noticed these small cuts on a right fairing sticker, there are no cuts or sketches and I have no idea how this could have happened, maybe a small stone? Do you have any ideas?
