Yup, after annoying the neighbours by getting it to temp in the back garden, level has noticibly dropped to max. So cold overfill = ok at running temp. So i assume a fill to max at cold would actually be min required.

Im well confused now as i said earlier i filled up ran engine as suggested in manual for 7 mins on idle then let it cool for 5 mins and on the paddock stand and when holding it level it showed jsut below the full line. so now in a state of panic i have left the office gone down to the car park and done my best to prop the bike up as level (under the side stand as i can) and the window is over full? this is driving me mad. is this because some of the oil will be sucked through the filter when running ?. also is there a decent way of measuring out 2.3 lites exactly to fill your oil tank?.

PS, my bike has been dealer serviced last week with a full flush and oil change and matches exactly what you've just described.

I will give it a go on the way home which is tricky in central london even getting into 3rd gear is a luxury! i must admit the problem, doesnt seem as bad in higher gears. do you think it will just fart out whatever is lodged so to speak

You need to describe the problem better. Is it boggy or hesitating in parts of the rev range or is a problem actually shifting betwwen gears?
