Hey Team...

Got a question. I changed my oil and my manual says 3.7 (or 4qt). On most of the threads here they say to drain and go ahead and put in the 4 qts... that's what I did. Well now when I check the level, mine is above the "F" mark. I have started it a few times and let it ran for about 5 mins each. I have not rode it yet. Is it TOO full? I think someone once said NEVER go over the full mark. Will this harm my engine or do I now need to drain some out? I think it's at the top of the indicator window...

Please let me kow your thoughts.

Thanks!

Mine is like that too.
I put in the full 4 liters (or qts) , and have had no problems.
We are talking about .3 of a liter extra at the most.

If you think it's OK, leave it. I personally prefer to follow the instructions of the people that built the machine. Especially when it is under warranty.

Running 4 Qts. won't hurt anything, I've always run 4qts. in both my Busa's and have never had a problem.
