I always prime the oil filter,which I replace every other oil change.You will be surprised by how much the filter soaks up the oil
https://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv23/WiNot_Rhencullen/Workshop/20160421_150233_zpsinju5kb3.jpg
On the paper filters on the the Exup and FJ I write the date and the mileage onto the metal part and log the details in the relevant workshop manual
On the spin-on filter for the R1 I prime the filter until it can take no more,then tip the slight excess that might drop onto the down pipes back into the oil container
As has been suggested,I always fill the oil into the sump until the level is 2/3 of the way up the window or dipstick,then run the engine for a short while for it to circulate.After topping up to 3/4 of the correct level I leave it at that.I never fill to the upper level as there is no need,unless the engine burns excessively. ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?
Always have a 'Plan B' |

Standard proceduder:
Run bike to warm oil.
Remove sum bolt to drain old oil,
Whip the old filter off,
wham the sump nut back in,
flop on another filter,
fill till acceptable fullness reached on sight glass/dippy stick,
run for a minute or two and let settle for another few minutes,
top up to appropriate fullness.
Done more cars/bikes than I care to remember,
never had any dramas |

Or try it on a ZX6-R, If you don't fill the filter then it wont prime itself, you'll end up with more mess as you try various methods of bleeding |
