When i put on center stand and it leans on the rear tire i get oil level about 10% over max, when i lean it on the front tire i get 90% full, but again my rear tire is flat now, it could be affecting the reading and if i put lower profile tire i will get incorrect reading as well.
Did someone come up with recommendation for perfect oil level check like apply bubble level meter to certain part of engine to make sure its perfectly level to ground and measure?

Just make sure that there is 750ml, if your engine does not burn oil, I never trust those readings Although I was once on the minimum with oil but suffered no damage, so 20%(+/-) is okay either way |

Most Chinese 49cc 4t motors Ive read about take 9/10 of a quart. Don't screw it in to check the oil.Youll be fine measuring on a flat surface.

Most want the scoot level and dipstick not screwed in. What I do is measure the amount of oil when I fill the engine and then mark (scratch) the dipstick.

How do i know if its really level like now i have uneven wear in tires, should i use axle nuts as reference point say if i connect piece of string from front axle nut to rear then i use that as reference of frame and engine being level?

I ususlly just check it on the side stand. If you're that worried drain er and fill with the proper 750ml.

You're overthinking it. Really don't need to go to extremes and bubble level your axles or any of that. Basically level is fine. It's not a high precision operation.

I would make sure that the front tire is on the ground, and the scoot on the center stand. Use of the kickstand will make the oil indicate lower than actual as the liquid will flow to the lowest level. On the kickstand, the lowest level will be lower than the side where the dipstick is located, so the oil will flow away from the measure.
Essentially, you want to run with the maximum content possible that does NOT contact the crankshaft or weights. Contact with spinning parts will likely create frothing, which is not good, as the froth will interact with the crankshaft and connecting rod, and possibly keep more oil on the cylinder wall until the froth gets burned up. Maximum volume of oil gives the most heat absorption and transfer as there is more mass to absorb and transfer out through the crankcase walls & floor.
