Is this right? I feel as if its too low and rather paranoid about starting it so need some assurance.

If the bike is tilted over to about 30 deg' it then moves up the window

Not the best of pics but its around level with the bottom of the glass

sould be half full on level ground
check it after it's totally cooled-over night

Dont worry about oil level on the two stroke. There will be plenty in there to splash around!

Too much oil blows gaskets and causes clutch drag.

I was wondering which 2 stroke had a sight glass cos they have level plugs......

Run it just visible at the bottom of the sight glass when cold.
