Thanks mate but I didn't tighten the oil drain screw. I wouldn't of put it that tight just in case of the head shearing off seeing as the bike is 15 years old. Nice to know about the filter though. I'll let you know how I get on. The guy I bought this from just over a month ago said he had done all this work already. I just saw it and thought " looks awesome, mine ". I think the guy who sold it me just was a cowboy to be honest. But nice to know there is genuine peeps out there willing to help. Thank you

Nice idea. Used to petrol that way haha. I think there is about 200 mill over, ish, so I'll do filter first then the syphon technique if I have to. It is far to tight and I almost started rounding it off undoing it. I'm not a weakling either. My own fault I asked missus hold it upright but she didn't hold it upright fully. Without a manual I wouldn't know where to start looking for external pipe. It is all encased as far as u can see. Like I say, bikes are not my speciality. It'll be OK run up Road won't it, don't want dump it all in front of my front door

Cheers mate. It is well over, ie the window is totally full. Just tried undue draining bolt and that isn't moving for nothing. Think it'll have go back garage once more. They must love me. If I remove the filter cover, rather than bolt I should get it out that way shouldn't I? I know it'll create a mess but can't see any other way of getting the thing out now by myself. Cars are so much easier play with, but I love the bike haha

Hi I have added a little engine oil in my bike but it looks like it has now gone over the max line. Do I have to drain a bit out or will it be OK? It's mixed reviews when I search for it but most say drain off. I'm new to motorbikes and to have mine repaired just cost me near £600. Manifold, front brake disc and pads, carb clean, new front wheel, gasket, o-rings, but my bike was a little spluttering after all the work and my engine oil looked low, thought the garage was pulling a fast one to get more work out of me. I'm trying to find a manual online so I can start repairing myself. Any advice please
