Nige,
What sort of oil are you using? A few years ago whilst on holiday in Italy I gave the W a day long thrash, in company with a 900 Ninja. We sat for 450 miles, at 90/100 stopping only for petrol (Autostrada from Frejuce(sp?) to Anconna). Temp was 40 + C. I was using mineral oil and had checked the level the day before. The oil went from the top of the sight glass to below the minimum, gulp. Topped her up, and no harm done apparently. I have since changed to synthetic, and she hasn't used any oil since...I wouldn't worry about being a jot over, just take her out and cane her, good & proper....
Mark,

Oops...LOL...yeah your right I checked the chain with her sitting on
it, with her moaning, and checked the oil with her holding one side of
the bike, with her moaning. But yeah the bike was off the stand, on
our garage floor and upright.
it is a bit over so I am going to try and get some out using a syringe
and tubing.

I don't think it is required to have a rider on. I suppose that's OK

sags the same amount front and rear...
I checked the bike off the stand, with the missus sitting on it, and
the oil sight window is full, although I am pretty certain that the
oil is only just over the top of the sight window.

Halfway up the window when the bike is dead level and upright. If
it is
overfull and you run at high speed it can blow oil vapour into the
airbox....but only a bit.
Mine doesn't seem to care!

Checked the oil level last night, I can see where there is a little
mark showing 'low' level, but where is the mark to show high
level? my
oil fills the sight window, although it appears to be just
fractionally above the top of the window...seen by leaning the bike
and then watching the window as I put the bike upright again.
So where
is the upper limit?
