I wouldn't loose any sleep over it if you hardly ever use it. But, it may have an issue that will get worse.
Neill C:
Thanks. I did check the oil and its up to the top on the dip stick(when unscrewed) and would could even go slightly over. It depends on how level I think the bike is when checking it. How do you get it perfectly level in the first place?
Bryanj:
Its normaly checked on the centre stand with dipstick just resting on threads, the difference in angle for the bike to be able to sit on centre stand on slope should make little difference , in theory but we all know about theories!
Most import thing is to check it same way every time so you can see if you are using any

Something about that statement worried me, I presume you mean up to the top of the markings on the stick not to the top of the stick itself. Also check cold not hot.
Neill C:
Yes. Up to the markings and stone cold.
