I need to ask this only because I'm on the road and don't have my owner's manual or shop manual with me. When checking the antifreeze level in the tank behind the right side cover, is the bike supposed to be level and balanced or leaning over on the side stand? It makes a huge difference in what the level reads. The bike in question is a '96 Royal Star, if that makes any difference. TIA.

Thanks again. I had thought the the radiator fan was coming on more frequently than usual lately on this trip, but wasn't real sure. When I level the bike it reads full, so apparently I don't need any. It must just be my imagination.
