Hello I’m new to this forum and have a question about my newly acquired mk3 more specifically the oil level. Putting in 250 ml shows the oil level perfectly on the sight glass when on centre stand but after putting in the recommended 550ml it goes way above the glass and as it’s new is so clear it looks invisible as there is no level half way up the glass. Am I missing something or is this a design floor as was going to add 550 as stated on the crankcase which would make the sight glass irrelevant for checking the level with bike on centre stand. Any help would be appreciated and I don’t mind being called names. Thanks Henry

550ml is the correct amount start the bike up to let the oil circulate around the engine then turn off leave it for 5 minutes or so and the level should fall about half way on the sight glass,after a few hours it then goes above the sight glass as the remaining oil slowly comes down,thats what happens with mine mate.
