Fire the bike up and crack one of the oil lines open. Just kidding do not try that. Is there something that makes you think that the oil is not circulating? Or are you just curious. Im not sure but Im guessing that your oil light would come on if the oil was not flowing properly.

Start the bike up with the seat off. With the bike running remove the oil filler cap. Should see the oil moving in the tank. If you haven't over filled it this will be an event less exercise.

If it's overfilled, you're going to get a big surprise; it'll erupt like a 3rd grade baking soda volcano science project.
