Re: [ST] ST Oil Level

["Barry Evans" <barryevans@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

On mine, the level was just below the upper mark of the sight glass for a
year without problems, including hard road days. But when I went for a track
day, it started to overflow down the tubes, necessitating draining 100-200
ml of oil to half way or slightly below mark. It seems that just below the
top mark was too high for the the extra heat/pressure during a track day.
