Hello there,
My bikes oil and filter recently changed in a service, they drained the bike and put new filter and 3.5 lt oil (motul 5100 10w40), a little smoke came off the exhaust when we start the bike, service said it will be gone in 100-200 kms. They didnt check the oil level with cap after change, asked them to do so, but replied they know how much it requires.
After leaving service, i started the bike again that evening, much more smoke came out, and smoke flow reduced once the engine is warm again. We checked the oil level and it was 6-7mm more than the high level mark. (bike was upright and engine was just warm and we didnt screw the stick while measuring).
1- have any one experienced how much mL excess oil it takes to make the level mark that high.
2- i'm wondering if that amout of excess oil can hurt piston rings or valve guides or something to make the bike burn oil.
3- bike was drained in sidestand, is it enough to drain it properly to make it stand still while draining or moving bike left/right is required to fully drain the oil.
4- service claims that they didnt fill the bike more that it requires. they called the bike back after my complain and handed me later the day after, and when i check oil level again, it was between two lines.
i'm kinda in a trouble. Please share your experience.
Regards,
Tolga
