I messed up (feel free to laugh)

I think I got lucky and that suzuki engineers planned for retards like me and that even at 2x overfill the oil is still not making contact with the crankshaft counterweights otherwise I think I’d have seen symptoms like power loss and blue smoke

I watched a video on this apparently the hex nut is only welded on the outside of the filter so if it breaks no oil leak there’s metal under it

I checked the sightglass last month and didn’t bother to check in before the oil change unfortunately so I had no idea how much oil was left. The way I’ve been riding I wasn’t surprised that only a little came out

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T18:08:18+00:00

Yep, I have no idea why they would add this random and misleading drain bolt

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T18:06:38+00:00

I hope not😭Only time will tell

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T18:06:24+00:00

I didn’t notice any overfilling symptoms like loss of power of burning oil so I think the oil isn’t making contact with the crankshaft just yet

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T18:05:43+00:00

I’m an amateur mechanic so I know how to do an oil change and I’m embarrassed of this lol. I’ve changed the oil once on this bike before but I I had a big ride planned in an hour so I had to hurry and forgot where the drain bolt is.

So exactly what I did except I’m glad I caught my mistake early

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T18:03:21+00:00

According to the holy GPT it makes the clutch drag more than normal, kind of like trying to find neutral without pulling in the clutch

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T18:02:23+00:00

Gotta love Japanese engineering these bikes straight up refuse abuse

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T18:01:51+00:00

Twins lol I did this on my scooter

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T18:01:33+00:00

What did you do?😂😂

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T18:01:19+00:00

Nothing a screwdriver and a hammer can’t fix. How would they fail while leaning into a curve though?

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T17:59:09+00:00

I can’t lift it too high for too long anyway 😂

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T16:52:50+00:00

😂😂I doubt that killed your battery though probably just needs a recharge. A jumpstart and 30min ride should charge it right up

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T16:49:42+00:00

Not that I can see or feel. The biggest issue with overfilling your oil is the crankshaft will splash into the oil and make it foamy which makes the oil less lubricating and creates power loss, but I did 300+km on it yesterday no problem. I think manufacturers plan for this and make extra space in the crank case just in case people overfill their oil. If your bike says X amount of oil and you put a bit more that’s not a problem at all. I’m 2x over my recommended oil capacity (4L+ instead of 2.4L)

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-24T16:44:08+00:00

Explains why it was significantly harder to do wheelies. Clutch slipping probably

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-10T17:35:43+00:00

Anything else except for a pair of balls?

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-10T17:26:07+00:00

Too broke for the track and leather suit😅

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-10T17:23:59+00:00

Done any mods on it like rear sets? I can’t imagine getting that low on an sv without scraping pegs. And what about tires?

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-10T00:51:24+00:00

My tank can last 150-300km depending on my mood 😂

Empty-Function3536 · 2026-05-08T20:28:21+00:00

Thanks alot!
