Re: [ST] Oil level

[Todd J <me_shucker@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree. Last season, I filled it to the top of the line and it must have been too much for my 01 as I blew the clutch cover gasket. I now put slightly less and add more if needed. But I shoot for mid-way up the sightglass.

  The first time I changed my 2001 ST oil, i used the prescribed amount and
the oil level was above the sight glass. I drained enough to keep the level
at the half way mark while on the centerstand. Being a tad low on oil
without losing any oil pressure is far better than overfilling. Just my
view of things.
