[Ducati] Re: oil over fill

[Bob Ryan]

My technique is to use clear aquarium tubing and siphon out the
excess. I just put the tubing as far as it will go into the filler
hole and start the flow.

I've successfully removed up to half a liter this way. It took a
while, but I was able to bring the level down to where it should be.
