[Ducati] Oil level too high?

[Gene Makar (BANet)]

I've understood that overfilling is not good (which is why there's a max
line on the sight glass).  I, too, have had to address this once or twice.
Here's what worked for me...

Simplest (slowest) way to remove excess is use a drinking straw: plunge it
in and seal top with finger (pretend you're a kid).  OK if slightly over the
max line...

Othewise, siphon with some sort of soft tubing attached to some sort of
syringe (try a hardware store).

Good luck,

Gene

PS - suggest you use a short piece of 2x4 (US) or other such piece of lumber
under the kickstand to get the bike to sit 'level'.  Makes it much easier to
monitor the filling/removal progress.
