Gas in oil (help!)

This is all interesting, and worth keeping in mind during the next oil change (which will be very soon so that 1. I can make sure I flushed all the fuel out and 2. I can get the oil level correct), but I'd also like to hear from those of you who do measure your oil, how much do you put in with a filter change?

Looking at HighFive's tutorial (http://www.wrrdualsport.com/tech-guide/maintenance/93-oilchange), he only measures out 1300cc for a full change with filter. Which is part of the reason I was wondering if the manual was incorrect. Anybody put 1400cc in and get a correct reading in the sight glass?

Well high-five also says prob better to be slightly under-filled than overfilled. Also says not to be too anal about it. I guess I missed the discrepancy from the owner's manual, I assumed what was stamped on the engine was total capacity so I always put in 1300 and the oil level is always in the middle of the little glass window (depending on how much I lean the bike ).

Yo emoose, did you ever figure out what the problem was?! Did it end up being gas in the oil, coming from the engine?

weeow, you do realize this post was over two years old, right?

I am confused. Please explain just how enough fuel is leaking past the head gasket to cause the oil level to rise.

Leak past the rings, more likely, but much less likely in a fuel-injected engine, surely.
