Yes, there is a reason for it.
Many people, not everyone, who fill the oil bag to the full line will experience oil blow by. This is when oil is forced out the crankcase breathers and into the air filter. The air filter will get saturated with oil and either drip the oil or the oil will mist out the filter and onto the bike or rider. To keep this from happening, it is best to fill the oil tank to a mark halfway between add and full.
