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?.

From what you have said there, that is spot on. Sorry if my earlier post caused confusion. It should show slightly overfull on cold and between min and max after running for a while (not ragging it temp, just as you say running for 7 mins). Its just due to all the oil pooling in the bottom at rest and once the pump starts monving it you'll lose some to the filter and other components higher up. Basically the level you saw after 7 mins will be the accurate one.

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

OK so we've established motor has right oil level

Try in 4th or something and just pin it from 2k or so right up to redline

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?
