I even tried deliberately over filling it to make sure but I there was no oil movement in the window at all, so I just emptied it out again, measured the right amount then lobbed it back in.

Maybe there was too much in there before hand. Have you tried looking at the oil glass when the engine had ben drained to see the difference :pokefun

Nah, it was bugging me so i spent quite a while doing things a bit at a time trying to get something to show up in the window, but it just didn’t. I drained it 3 times that day i think, but the window stayed the same.
Now i just warm the bike up so the oil drains more freely, let it do it’s thing, then stick 2.7 litres in after the new filter is on and the job’s a good’un.


Still don’t get why the have that little window within a window either, what’s all that about?
