Steven b Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I think I've put too much oil in my xj600n, the window on side of bike looked empty so I put 2litres of oil in. I then noticed I couldn't get first gear when engine was warm.so I took some small tubing (like fish tank tube) and now its fine.could I have ruined my engine if left?????

neversaydie Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Lets guess that you put the tubing in the engine and drained the excess oil out. Yes? And youve now got the correct level of oil? Yes, you could have damaged the motor with too much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted January 31, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 31, 2016 Of course its the rain, unless you looked like a red arrow trailing smoke? Every wet weather biker either swaps the plug caps with every other set of plugs or keeps em stewing in wd40 with regular sprays over the bike electrics to keep it sweet.
