Anyone ever siphoned oil out of their bike due to overfilling? I had the bike serviced recently and I checked the level the other day and the sight glass is full beyond the max mark. I've got a Mityvac and figured that I might siphon a bit out. With my old R6 this wouldn't have been a problem. I could've just stuck the tube down the dipstick hole but the Blade doesn't have one. Any ideas if there's somewhere I can get into the sump? Obviously if I had a newer Blade I'd just ride it around for 20 minutes until it burned all the oil off but as mine doesn't use any.....
Or unscrew the oil filter a lil n let it drain from there, the oil filter can be a lil more controlled than the actual drain plug in amount you wanna remove.
sight glass on the side of the engine on the 04-7's. much better than this dipstick bollox if you ask me
much easier to remove the sump plug than the oil filter though,plus,the screw driver hole through the filter tends to leak afterwards
