Oil Overfilled

[Sourcer]

I discovered my oil level had been overfilled by the dealer( they performed the service on the bike as part of there check in/out procedure. The dealer said something about it before the purchase. I find it a little bit difficult to check the oil level. I run the bike a few minutes around the block and let the engine idle for 30 seconds before I shut it off. A few deciliter oil overflowed when I opened the cover, and I let it flow until it finally stopped. I did the same procedure today and it still overflow when I open the cover to the oil tank.

I wonder how much oil they used.

Check that all the air has been bled out of the oil filter. Just open the small screw at the top of the filter and make sure oil comes out rather than air.

Thanks! I'll try that.

Tell you service manager ASAP, you need to get the rookie off of your bike and make sure he is up to snuff on the "dry sump" oil system your bike uses before your bike tries to compress some oil (hydrolock anyone?) and while there at it have 'em toss in some freebies for the inconvience and loss of confidence in his shop... Time = money
