Sure enough, the oil fill cap has the dip stick attached to it. From the rear, it's on the right side behind the cylinder head

Oh yeah, use a funnel.

Oh yeah, screw the cap on before you start for 10 seconds or you will screw up, don't ask me how I know.

Guys are talking about oil tank covers and pulling them off,that is what was confusing me.So the oil gets poued into the oil tank and the opening for that is under the seat where the dipstick is

You take the seat off and there is a Black cap about the size of a 50 cent piece that screws down. Unscrew this and remove it and you should see the dip stick! OIL GOES HERE ! Pour three to 4 qts in replace cap Crank run short period cut off . Remove cap pour in remaining oil. put cap on crank let bike get warm ,cut off let drain back and check level! Big Smile

LOL! I was just trying to answer his first question--Where is the oil filler cap located. Since it looks like this is a newbie I thought i would let him know that CAR Tires go on your CAR not your WARRIOR! and the Metzeler 210 SUCKS . Just some free extra advise !
