The maximum level should be shown on the dipstick it is the top mark nearest to the dipstick handle. the lower mark is minimum level.
Use the dipstick. The oil level should be between the upper and the lower lines on the dipstick when bike is standing upright on a level surface.

Anything above max or full is not recommended.
Usually there are makings on the Dipstick that tell you where the oil level needs to be. there are usually cold and hot markings on the stick. As long as the oil level is within the cold and hot range then you have plenty of oil. (usually the amount of oil is about 1/2 an inch to an inch on the bottom of the dipstick if there are no markings.)
When checking the oil level on a Briggs and Stratton engine, the dipstick should be just pushed in without screwing it down. This allows you to get an accurate reading of the oil level. After removing the dipstick, wipe it clean before reinserting it to check the level again. Always ensure the engine is on a level surface for the most accurate measurement.
Remove the oil filler cap and there should be a dipstick attached to the cap
The oil level on the dipstick should ideally be between the "minimum" and "maximum" marks. It is important that the oil level is closer to the "maximum" mark for optimal engine performance. When checking the oil, ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is off and cool to get an accurate reading. Regularly checking and maintaining the proper oil level can help prevent engine damage.
