He's just speaking the truth. You are supposed to change your oil every 4 rides anyway, so if you put in the recommended amount and your bike does not leak oil, than you know your good.

Ok, ride the bike, while the bike is still warm drain the oil, take off that screw and start filling up the bike with oil, whenever you start to get a small stream coming out then stop filling it up and put that screw back on and your golden. IF you do this every 3-5 rides then you will never have to worry about it. If your using a cheap automotive oil then I would change it more frequently.

as elko said. you wanna make sure you are straight up and down and not leaned against anything. if you over fill it, either it can come out of the over flow, or.. if it is to much you can do some bad things to the engine.
