its better to put over the limit than too little cos over the limit can still drain it off. too little harmful for the gears cos not enuf lubrication

but u put too much...bike not gd to ride...pick up oso affected...like got something "restricting" the bike from moving like that...think coz too much engine oil will increase the amt of friction the gears have to overcome resulting in such symthoms...my guess n intiution...i may be wrong though Mr. Green

actually i dun think u can over top up ure engine oil cos if over, the oil will spill out from the top up hole….the right amount is when the level flushes with the top up hole. correct me if i’m wrong….

Too much oil will only cause pressure therefore some power is used to overcome this pressure.... not friction. There will be too much friction only when u dont have enough oil.
