I then topped up the oil with 700ml taking the total oil input to 2.6L.

I then dipped the oil with the dip stick only to find it barely touched the end of the stick.

Reading the manual it said to top up the oil until it is between the min and max marker on the dipstick.

In the end I added another 300ml of oil, taking the total to 2.9L!

Is this normal??? I haven't ridden the bike since doing the oil change just in case I've now got too much oil in the tank as I don't want to go blowing gaskets etc ....

Can anyone give me a "YaY" or "NaY" as to the amount of oil please??

Thanks!
