Quick question: I put slightly too much oil in my cbf125, maybe 100-150ml too much, how much of a problem is this going to be? Its a few mm over the top dipstick level, should i bother trying to siphon it out?

I tightened the chain over the weekend and a few other maintenance jobs (in which i have no confidence) and the bike sounds different, not as healthy, more rat-a-tat-tat than purrr.

I'd invest in a bit of tubing and get that oil out.

Now, what "other maintenance jobs"? If you want help with your "rat-a-tat", don't waste your time and ours by drip feeding information.
