ive always wondered about this. so ill blabber and bump you off the second page.
i would figure the stock pan oil level (absolute level - or level of oil below the crankline) would be the same with any pan (you fill it as much as you can, while keeping the oil out of the crank reciprocating mass. so would the full mark still not work (ie keep filling till the dipstick reads full).
otherwise, i would contact the vendor and ask to be sure. or figure out the oil level on the old pan, where it was full. then figure out how much you can fill the new sump to achieve the same level from the crankline.
sorry - this does not make sense.
oh yeah, i prefer to check oil level on a cold motor (ie sat overnight). so unless your oil filter is dry (you just changed it and have not started it), you could use this method . i dont know the 'best', most perfect way to check the level - warm motor after sitting for a few minutes (like most sportbikes, per the owners manual) or after overnight.
good luck.
