over filling with oil can cause it to leak past the seals etc!

just drain a bit of it out not that hard on the old nsr, in fact thats how you tell if you have the right amount in by the level plug on the side of the gearbox!

I cant see sod all in the window box. i just drained it all out and put 0.7cl in there the other day, gear box runs very nice and the clutch is a bit more grippy!
nice! Wink

Hi

Wouldnt worry too much on a 2 stroke. Far better to be slightly overfull rather than underfull. However, I would not rely on putting the correct amount of oil in and hope that takes it up to the correct level.

On a 4 stroke if you overfull with oil, with the pumping of the pistons and the leakage of exhaust gases past the piston rings it will preasurise the crankcases too much and stand a chance of blowing a seal

All the best
