Where is the dipstick on the XY? Is it on the engine? On my XR250R, it's in front of the gas tank.

This bike is a wt sump. The oil fill and dipstick are on the right side of the engine.
I'll leave it to the next owner to modify. I am enjoying it as is right now. Fired right up this AM. The 'trick' is to just pull the enricher a tiny bit, she starts right up and is good to ride with no stumbling in a minute. Temps are in the mid 40's this AM, FWIW.
