    Needless to say I took the excess oil out, hopefully no damage was done, I can't believe it.
    No that means your carbs are stuffed and dumping extra fuel into the bores. Bet that oil smelt a bit funny.

    Hope you can find somebody to work on it now.......

    You must be very smart if you need a dealer mechanic to check the oil level in your bike.

    I'm curious as to the method you used to "Take out" the excess oil ... considering your apparent laziness in getting a bike shop to do the actual work they did ...

    Why would they bother with FI on a 650?

    And you are not smart at all ... if that is the impression that post you quoted ... gave you.

    Most motorcycle casings have cast into them the correct amount of oil required for that bike. Measuring the correct amounts serves the purpose of eliminating overfilling. If it was over the level it should be ... other issues are involved. Serious issues that need sorted very quickly.

    Good luck finding a anyone (now) willing to work on YOUR bike.

    I check everything before going far or leaving even.
    No offence to mechanics on here but I've seen to many cases over the years of missed items/wrongly done etc. As like any job people will make mistakes.
    Best one was rocker cover bolts on a FH12 Volvo only done up finger tight by Akld workshop, man that was a good smoke trail when we hit the Bombay hill and oil tipped out the back straight onto exhaust manifold!!! 44 ton fog machine.
    Half a litre is a lot of extra oil, that will be blowing a gasket or seal somewhere...

    Fuel injection can have its issues ...

    If the extra bulk in the oil wasn't petrol ... that leaves water. You WILL know if it is ... things go milky in the sight glass.

    Or it was simply over filled.
    EFI won't leak enough to bore wash it and still run fine.

    Well regardless, I hate the fucking french. Fuck off back to your own terrorism supporting nation. Hope the boat taking you there sinks and kills you.

    BTW you stupid fucking frog, if the pintle holds open it'll have the same effect of dumping oil in your bores.

    Did you check it with engine cold or warm?

    On SV the engine should be run up to temperature and wait for 2 minutes before checking the oil level.

    It might be 100-200ml difference.
