Hi,
I have a 1986 XT600z too and I can say that what your mate has experienced is dead normal and not a problem. I've had two of these bikes and the same thing happens. There may be a little too much oil in the engine but I would just lean the bike iover on the opposite side - against all wall or something and try again. The problme is that the side stand leans the bike over on to the timing cover mark side and tip sthe oil there too.
The oil all drains from the tank in to the crankcases unless the engine is running. But if you check the oil levels as decribed above you'll prbably still get oil coming out of the timing cover whole even if the levels are correct.
Anyway, thats what I reckon !
good luck,
Simon
