Possibly a daft question but here goes, bought a zx6r 2008 model a few weeks ago, checking the oil today I noticed the oil level was bang on between the lines whilst on the side stand but when level it's over by a fair bit.. Which is the right way to check.. Did a quick google search and all I got was yanks arguing about which is right... Cheers in advance..
Manual says bike level which I took as level ground but doesn't clearly state if it should be stood straight or on the stand.. Not got a haynes yet
bike should be upright level. I made that mistake last week filled the oil up on side stand but was well over when upright, next thing bike started bogging out and running like shit
Cheers, it's defo overfilled then... Knew how to do it on my er6 just this is that far out it made me wonder....
a little tip for you have you got a large cleaning bottle with a trigger on ? if so unscrew the trigger leaving the long plastic tube on put tube in filler hole and squirt out any excess oil into a container..:thumbsup:
Like it . The lad who had it has Hardy rode it for 2 years so it's due a service.. Might take to Andy at ACL get the stamp up to date...
thats a great tip, next time i speak to someone who's done this im gonna tell em and pretend i came up with it
Today's top tip!! Well done Johnny One I was told a few years ago was to put a plastic bag over your boot when putting waterproofs on. Obviously take it off once waterproofs are on and your riding ;-)
