V4 Oops Oil Level

Ive run at that on my 959 with no issues - its not a V4 though and might equate to less overall oil being a twin

for sure better a little over than under

 

The advice I got from the workshop, was better to run nearer the bottom mark than above the high mark. Andy

 

Syringe with a bit of pipe will take that out if it concerns you, it wouldn't bother me though.

 

Did the same.

Advised by Ducati Aylesbury not to worry too much if oil isn't completely filling the window.
Besides, leaving the bike stationary for several weeks results in the oil level slowly going up ( even more than in your photo). I just run the engine for some time to get it back down .

 

Syringe with a bit of fuel pipe on the end, poke it down the filler hole and draw it out, I bet it's only 100ml, or less, over.

 

No bother'

 

Just take the bike out for a proper spank. That’ll burn the excess off.

 

That wouldn't bother me. It'll soon reduce if you ride it hard enough.

 

That amount over is very small in terms of oil. I wouldn’t worry

 

I’ve tried this- no joy on a V4. I heard there are baffles preventing this.

I ended up cracking open the sump plug for a second. Easy enough… The gasket washers are good for a couple of torque ings… I’ve just made up a word

 

Absolutely fine

 

My scrambler did a little oil wee out the breather when it was over filled on my scrambler

 

That’s exactly what I’d expect, the Panigale V4 on track is notorious for pressurising the crankcase and releasing oil out of the breather when it’s overfilled. Andy
