Engine Oil Level Guage

Can someone upload an image of an oil level gauge with the engine oil correctly filled? According to the picture in this manual, I'll know I'm at the correct level when my motorcycle and garage turn completely black.

sounds like valve seals are shot or rings are stuck or shot.... youd have to have that bad boy fulllll of oil and it wouldnt even look right. does your bike have a sight glass? if so half way up is where it should be

The oil level should be between the bottom (low) and top(full) of the sight glass. This is checked with the engine on the center stand. If there is no center, balance the bike and check it with the bike level.
