I think I might have to much oil in my scoot if thats the case will that make it for hard starting.

Hey Blue, don't worry about maybe it will cause slow starting.  Just drain some out and make it right.  Too much oil equals too much pressure, equals blown gaskets at best.

I'm not sure that I like the new platform.  I'd like bigger print.

Are you sure it is all oil and not raw gas that got dumped into your crankcase after failed start attempts ? Good luck .

Aside from high pressure, too much oil will result to frothing or foaming, you know, like when you beat eggs.... Foamed oil will result to less lubrication and that is bad for the engine....

Curious to know which brand of oil you use... My dealer told me that I should use synthetic oil from Motul. Also, which drain plug do you use to change oil? I know there are two, one is on the bottom and one is on the other side. Which one is preferred?
