My understanding is on the new M8, the recommended way to check primary level3 is upright and level per service manual since the primary has been change to a narrower profile and thus reduced fluid space, it now shows the top fluid level close to the top lip. If you place the bike on jiffy stand and open the primary inspection cover, I bet some of the primary fluid will spill out.
My 2014 Twin Cam with wider primary, I am able to open the cover and able to not spill…YMMV…
