Exhausts and Engine » Coolant checking

Anyone found an easy way to check the coolant on the R1250RS. Shining a torch on the reservoir just seems to reflect the light back and reveal nothing.

Thanks

Definitely not easy, any sunshine, reflected light and I struggle to see the coolant, tried shining torch down the filler hole but now find it easier, if you have mainstand, to turn the bars to the right and look at the wrong side, non-marked coolant bottle. Even had a slight wobble (bike - not me!) of the hadlebars to make sure the fluid is moving, very easy to think a green stain is liquid but the level has dropped.

I shine the flashlight from the side so the light shines through the reservoir.
