Too much oil can rob HP and mpg. I would think the clutch could maybe not engage properly, but since I don't really know about such things I'll just say this.... Too much oil no good, drain some till its right.

I always put in the recommended ammount and it still is a little over the mark but I never worry, gots 8k on her already, and I red line it.

I would undo the drain bolt and let a little out, it's not like it's that hard to do.

well the shop changed my oil the last time and it just to the top of the window so ur good
as long as u didn,t add a extra quart or something.

 

[mityaz]

well, it probably has about 4.3-4.4 quarts in it

 

[jblaze]

That's a bit much over

 

[destroyerbmx]

yeah i think it is, gen 3 calls for 3.9 or something

 

[mityaz]

but dont you put more oil in there if you do wheelies? isn't that a "protocol"?

powerwheelies once in a while...or stand ups for miles at a time?

just powerwheelies, I wouldn't add extra oil.

Gen2 should take 4 QTs (w/ filter change) to the top of the window. No problem at this point, since "normal" mid window is about 3.9 QTs. Pretty much ok anywhere in the window.

If you really have a 1/2 QT extra in there you should let a little out. Be much easier to let out the filter, than the drain bolt.

:+1: I always make sure my level is somewhere in the upper 2/3's of the window...

Has anyone been into the bottom of these motors and seen if there are any windage trays or anything:dontknow:

i really dont do wheelies. maybe a power wheelie every once in a while. here is what i have: the picture that you see below is the angle of the bike when the oil is to the top of the window! If I keep standing the bike upright the oil goes over the top of the window.

Drain it?

 

[mityaz]

ok, got tired of it, drained about .2L from it. now its full to the top when upright.
