Let me just start out by saying this 2014 Super Tenere is my 13th motorcycle. I am very meticulous about my bikes and I maintain and clean them at an unnatural level. I have owned this bike for a few months now and last weekend I changed the oil a little early but now I now when it was done. I went on a nice ride today and when I got home I looked at the oil level in the sight glass and it was a bit high. Hmmm that is odd, so I wanted to drop it a little. I really did not want to pull the skid plate so I manufactured a funnel, stuffed a rag and very carefully drained out a little oil to the perfect level! Wa La! All without making a mess or spilling a drop. Gonna check my work and run it for a few minutes and check her again. Fire her up and she starts leaking oil all over the place! WTF? I left the oil cap off and made quite the mess all over the bike and my garage. If I had known it was that easy to lower the oil level in a few seconds I could have save myself alot of effort. 30 years of riding and that is the first time I have ever done that. An hour later and a little red in the face and she is back to clean and happy. Shit. It was beautiful and 75 degrees here in Arizona today.
