[Ducati] Re: oil over fill, spray it out!

[Brez]

Depending on how much you overfilled the oil it could take a long time and 
many dips to get the level down to an acceptable range.  I have overfilled 
my bike and I've found you using a spray bottle to remove the excess oil 
works best.  I used a Simple Green foaming sprayer but I believe any one may 
work.  Just insert the stray into the oil fill and spray the excess into a 
container.

Good Luck
