Re: I have a 91 kaw..zx1100....how do i check the oil...
If there is not a sight glass on the side, or a dipstick on the oil fill cap, then you check the level by draining and refilling it to the proper CC ammount.

On most of the older Kaw's they had a plastic oil gear and when this brakes then you will have no oil pressure. You can go here http://www.gadgetjq.com/gadgetsfixitpage.htm , his page has all the information on Vulcan Motorcycles that you would ever need to know. There is information on there on how to replace the plastic oil gear or the POG as we Vulcan riders call it.
Your bike does not have a dipstick it has an oil check window on the right side of the motor. Have a friend hold the bike upright on level ground . There should be a dot at the correct oil level ,or a high/low mark bar in the window to tell you where the correct oil level is.
If you mean engine oil?, Check the dipstick, to see how much oil you have all ready in the engine.
On the dipstick you will see two marks or notches on the stick, the level of oil in the engine should be in between the two marks or notches. Do this with the engine turned off at all time.
Your bike is a four stroke. The gear box and engine are one unit. Standard 10w40 oil goes into the gearbox. The gear box oil IS the engine oil.
You need to buy the oil anyway, so why not go to the Kawasaki dealer and, after buying the oil, ask them show you how to check the oil level. Ask them to tell you what maintenance you should do as the owner. Don't be shy. Ask them "what do you mean by that".."where is that part on my bike?"... How often?... and so forth. They will be glad to give you a first hand education on standard maintenance needs.
