Anyone had something like this before?
On my old sh*t weather runabout ZZR1100 the oil level when cold is just above the minimum level but after a run its above the top of the inspection window. When the engine cools it drops again. Can't suss out what's causing it at all so any pointers would be more than welcome! |

I'm guessing the sight glass is one of the last places the oil drains from? Once cooled the oil has moved.

Had a few bikes with the same motor GPZs and ZRXs etc and when engine is stopped the level is low. It climbs up the sight glass as the oil drains back to the sump. This one seems to do the opposite!
