Oil Level
Just got my scooter back from the dealership from having the 10K checkup. I noticed tonight after checking the oil level, it shows FULL and my service manual says it should read at the half way mark on the stick when cold and FUll when at operating temp.
Should I drain some oil out ?

RE: Oil Level
Was the oil cold or hot when you checked it? If it is reading FULL when cold and on the jiffy stand that is about a half a quart to much. The engine will probably blow some of the excess out the breathers. Call the dealer and tell them what you found. They should make it right.

The oil was cold! It seem to me that everytime I take it in, they do something that is not what is recommended by the owners manual. They always put 40 lbs of air in both tired and the book says,

My $.02
1. suck 1/2 quart oil out. Heat up bike & re-check.
2. let some air out of tires until correct pressure.
3. find a different shop to do your work because they suck
Why waste your time trying to educate them?
