I just bought my bike used about a month ago. Today I checked the oil level and noticed that it seemed high. When I sit the bike up for a few seconds and try to crouch down and look at the glass I can't even see the oil level cause it looks to be filling the entire glass. Not good. This was with the bike cold but upright and having waiting about 30 seconds or so. I did it a few times.
I tried to record things. Note that in part of the video the reflection of the clouds might make it look like the sight glass is part empty, it's not. The whole thing is dark as if there is oil past the high point. It's so hard to see though, even in person.
Me checking the level video
I also opened the oil cap and noticed something that looks like string? Am I missing something? Should that be there?
Any help is appreciated. I was thinking of getting a turkey baster to drain out some oil.
