Hi!
Had my '97 TDM at a workshop for an oil change, and the poor mech guy must have had a bad day.. He filled too much oil in my dear TDM! And, as that wasn't enough, I didn't check the oil level after.. So I have been riding around with too much oil for three months now, what damage can I have done?

Hi and welcome TVM, if you can try and drain out a little bit of oil until the level is correct (what annoys me is you have ridden for 3 months and not burnt it off like my TDM would !!!) also it would be worth removing the airbox cover and the air filter and looknig into the airbox to see if excess oil has pooled in there, if so split the airbox into 2 sections mop out the oil with a cloth soaked in petrol or WD40. wIcK
spyball alarm/immob, bluespot brake calipers and Stainless hoses, Fournales air adjustable shock with Remote Resevoir, forks raised 10mm thru yokes, racetech linear fork springs in 15 wt oil, Kappa wingrack/luggage, heated grips, Kedo handguards, dual heat controller to power heated jacket liner and or pants!!, Stebel 136DB horn, K&N air filter, colour matched Baglux tank cover (magnetic tank bag modified to fit cover), osram +50% headloight bulbs, headlight protector,"NitramSpecial" parking loight, tail light indicators all running on LED's & incorporate "Lite Buddies", MK7 Scottoiler fitted, taller screen, 2-2 stainless steel CCC's, Devil stainless down pipes. MKI Renntec engine crash bars & sump guard.
