XTZ660 oil level puzzles me
Hello there,
I bought a beautiful xtz660 '95 with 23,000miles and I have a problem checking the level of the oil. The manual I have says to check the level before staring the engine and if it doesn't reach the MIN to top it up, warm the engine and then check again.
This puzzles me a bit because if I go to work and check the oil at the end of the day, for example when the engine is cool, it is usually OK but if I don't ride the bike for a week it looks like I haven't got oil at all! In this case I don't know if it is the case to top it up or not as I heard that too much oil can damage the engine, is this correct? The other day I had to pour almost a litre of oil for the level to be between MIN and MAX but it the bike keeps spitting it out from the pipe underneath and after a 100miles ride on a motorway at 140Km/h the level was back to below MIN.
Any suggestion? I don't know what to do and I don't want to damage the engine. Is too much oil bad for the bike?
Many thanks in advance.
