Default Raptor Oil Question

This maybe a dumb question since I own so many quads but if I over fill my oil resevoir about a 1/4 inch over full will that hurt anything? I was in a hurry changing my oil today and got tired of putting in a little bit at a time cuz everytime I started it the level would go down. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I overfilled my oil tank one time, not a pretty sight oil running down the tank and frame. I used a turkey baster, worked great, just don't let your wife find out!!!

Well today I ran it with no problems. The bike runs great and glad to have a sparks pipe on there. It made a world of difference compared to my WB R4.

I have overfilled mine several times with no problems. Never thought about the turkey baster though.
