Oil change woes. Help please!

[Jag]

Thanks for the responses guys. I feel like such a tool now. Followed the instructions from the manual. I've done 4 or 5 oil changes on this bike already. My problem was dumping the full 6 (ish) Litres in rather than stopping at 5L and going from there. Which is precisely what I've done in the past. Just don't know what I was thinking. I guess the fact of the matter is I wasn't thinking.

Syphoned some out and we're good now. For the record, synthetic oil doesn't taste one bit better than Dino oil

It's called CRS syndrome (can't remember $hit) and at least the oil was new!

So that's what it's called. I've has a serious case for a few years now. Any word on a cure?

Drinking motor oil I think!

maybe not drinking motor oil and drink something that has mellowed in an oak barrel instead

I always put about 5.3 in and its usually spot on, this is with a filter change

Not a fan of too much Oak (or Peat for that matter) but this would likely do the trick. My personal favourite lubricant. Imagine what 5L of this would do.

I lean towards this

Drink a glass that full and I guess you would "lean"

Yes have to lean or fall down
