Hello,
Yestrday on my yamaha fz6 fazer 2007 I changed motor oil and filter. I put 2.65 L oil and drove 30 km. When I checked deapstick there was oil above max (more then 5 mm) . I did not swell deapstick. I think that before puting new oil, oil reservoir was empty.
Does somebody know what happened?
Thanks

How long did you wait before checking?

Hi and Welcome!

I lean the bike over on the side stand for most of the draining. Once it stops dripping, I retract the side stand lean it over further and more oil comes out. Doing this it holds the suggested values...

Engine oil quantity:
With oil filter cartridge replacement
2.80 L (2.96 US qt) (2.46 Imp.qt)

Without oil filter cartridge replacement
2.50 L (2.64 US qt) (2.20 Imp.qt)
