Is it bad to have your oil level OVER the full mark on the side site guage? I figured its not near as bad as having it below the low mark. Please PM me and let me know.

I would assume it is the same as a car and you will blow seals if you are way over on oil.2008 Ducati 1098

From what I understand, as long as the oil level is not over the top of the sight glass. A bit high should not be a problem - if you have any doupts - just drain a bit off....Comment

It's a non-issue if you aren't significantly above the top of the window when measured correctly (i.e. - not measured with the engine parked for hours).
The correct way to measure your oil on any 88 - 06 Kat:
Start the engine and let it run 2 minutes. Shut the engine off and check the window 45 to 60 seconds after shutdown. This is the correct oil level.
Reading it while running will give you an artificially low reading.
Reading it without running it first will give you an artificially high reading.

Re: Oil level question
I try to run my oil above the F on the site window to the point where you can hardly see anything but oil.Originally posted by Black Kat 750Comment
