Does anyone do a cold check on oil?

How do some of you check your oil?
Do you put you bike on the rear stand and then check it?
I have heard this before in this forum that some of you cant see the oil in the window.

The best was to check your oil is have another person sitting on your bike on a flat surface or steady the bike yourself from the right side and make sure it is perfectly balanced while looking in the window.

Sometimes when you change the oil it is hard to see in the window, ya kinda have to sway the bike a little back and fourth to see the oil moving around in the window.

I have my wife hold the bike up on level ground with both tires on the ground. You would think Suzuki would of made it a little easier to check solo
