Done a few oil changes and when i had my bike in getting the valve checked got the my local mechanic to also change the oil. He said he put in 2.6ltrs of oil, but i never trust people so started the bike took it for a short spin around the block, checked the level of oil on the dip stick and no thing, half a litre later and we where sorted. Took a long ride home and checked when i got home and still the same about 3/4 up the dip stick.

Never had this problem at home as i never new how much i was putting in, was always a rough guess!!!!
