To Infinity And Beyond
So I did a full oil + filter change on my bike yesterday and did so successfully until I got to the point where I had to put the new oil in my bike. I ended up eyeballing it at 2.6-2.7 quarts, and I think I have put a little too much oil in the bike. I have driven it close to 90 miles since the oil change yesterday and haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, plus the bike runs butter smooth now.
The only issue is the dipstick level, which is reading well past the full mark. I made sure to test it propped up and perpendicular to the ground so I get an accurate reading.
I'm guessing I need to drain some oil and slowly add until it gets to the desired level according to the dipstick? If this is the case, what is the easiest way to drain it? I know the drain bolt is going to make a huge mess, being that I can only loosen it until it starts to leak and let a little bit out.
Please share your thoughts, and thank you in advance!
