I have been out on my bike again today, the oil level warning light has still not come on. I have added about 0.1 Litre and will leave it at that for now and see how it goes, I am not a fan of over filling,but what is over filling? and why do Yamaha say 3 litres for a oil and filter change.
I have been wondering if the type of oil and what filter you use has any bearing on the level, or is every bike different? I do not know what oil the last owner used but he had a MF filter, I also think he way over filled the bike, but hay what do I know lol.
Don71 where did you get the measurement of 3.5 litres for a oil and filter change from. I have checked again the Yamaha workshop manual and owners manual and it says
Oil change only. 2.8 litres
Oil and filter. 3.0 litres
Dry engine. 3.7 litres
It seems that the warning light coming on when the oil level is below the high mark is very common, but are some people over filling? And does it matter? How much oil is over filled?
