Hello , I think everybody is right ! Some bikes had their drain plugs removed others like mine did not . I put two 150 mile rides on my bike this weekend. First ride netted 110ml of oil from the box., oil was filled to the high mark from dealer on the oil stick. Next ride 150 miles netted 150 ml of oil from the box . My oil level is now half way between the high and low oil lines. I will let the bike find its correct level when it stops spewing the motor oil and report back . It may be it will end up at the last 5 mm of oil on the stick.. I will continue to use the drain plug until the oil stops spewing out. Also , I suggest that everyone checks to make sure the drain pipe is free and not clogged up. Blow through it and use a wire or paperclip to check through the brass fitting if necessary. There may be some something clogging the fitting which is very small.. The fitting and the drain pipe are too small land the hose too soft . Tony

[QUOTE="TonyA, post: 279053, member: 7317"] Hello , I think everybody is right ! Some bikes had their drain plugs removed others like mine did not . I put two 150 mile rides on my bike this weekend.
