Right,
Not sure what's going on here but on Thursday i checked my oil level (cold) before my 4 days of riding to work (80 mile round trip) and saw it was quite low so i topped it up.
Rode to work and heard a horrible knocking noise towards the end of my journey, sounded like ball bearings being dropped. So i let the engine cool and then checked the oil level and to my surprise it was showing really over filled !!
So i drained some oil (a bit too much tbh) and about 15/20mm was showing on the dip stick. Rode home and then again, let the engine cool a bit and then checked the oil level.... It was showing over filled again !!
How the hell is this possible ?
I'm checking the oil level with the bike on the centre stand and screwing the dip stick in and then back out again.
