running or not running?
I've never checked it running. try checking it off, then check it running, and see if there is a difference. if there is a difference, stick with checking it off. the oil return line is probably gonna be throwing oil all over the dipstick while running, not sure if you can get an accurate reading running.

I let mine run for awhile, then I turn it off and let it sit a couple of minutes, then check the oil. Pull the dipstick, wipe it off then set it back in, don't screw it back in. Pull it out and look at the level.

I have run low by almost a whole quart before. As soon as I realized it I changed my oil... right at the dunes actually. No metal or anything like that in the oil... it was actually running really good. That was three years ago and never had a problem since with rings or anything related to low oil. I know some of the racers run smaller oil tanks... its probably ok.

Just like anything, cars etc, get the bike warm, let it cool a minute or so, so you can actually check it and the oil will have returned to it's location, then check the oil. Like DS said, pull the dipstick, wipe if off and set it back in. Pull it out and there ya go.
