Souds ok to me, I found that after 1 day like you it gos up and it will even keep going up after a few days after standing. Let it settle for 1/2 hour and use that as your guide, if you try too hard to get a perfect level when you look/measure after 1 day you will start to get oil light flash on fast acceleration.

Erm, no, don't let it settle for half an hour, 'cos that would be wrong!
Do it the way I said above.

Which was

You should start the engine for a couple of minutes first, then switch off and let it settle, that's the level you measure at.

You never actually stated a settling time.

Can you imagine taking your bike into a shop for an oil change and they charged you 30mins labour for waiting for it to settle?  :rollin

It will level out and settle in a couple of minutes tops.
[/quote]Probably makes little difference 2 mins or 30 maybe you should of said 30mins was not necessary rather than plain wrong. But it will carry on draining down with the sight level going up for another 48 hours.Also when you tip in some extra oil its easy to over do it because even that takes time to fully get down. I find putting in an egg cup full at a time helps
