engine oil

[QuoVadis]

i realised my bike's engine oil was cloudy yest. could be a leak of coolant or water sipped in or something im not sure. (i ride yamaha tzm btw). so i tot i give my engine oil a change. but the thing was, i didnt have any measuring can so i poured to approx a lil bit more den 3/4 of the bottle. the gauge by the side (the circle transparent thing) shows approx a little bit to the top. whats the appropriate guideline for engine oil? im not sure mine is 750ml or 800ml. wat happens if thr 4t level either too low or too much? i gave it a test ride yesterday and the bike seem abit heavy at low rp but a nice push after it reaches 7. but the vibration got stronger as well. maybe because the previous eo i was using fully syntetic. im using semi now. can anyone help me with this? thanx bros..

cloudy E.O u better go shop and check it out.. i reckon is coz the coolant leak into the engine due to sum broken seal...

 

little bit of differences in engine oil quantity do not actualli play a very big part in the performance ba.. but i empathsize on LITTLE differences..

yeap im just scared thats the cause. i just changed EO to see if the cloudy returns in a week's time. cos ive changed the seal 3 times before. 2x in malaysia and the last in sg. in sg i changed the whole set with the fan and everything. phew. worked out. anyway the 'lil' diff caused me a clutch slip this evening. felt like as if my chain broke in half. haha. scary. hope it doesnt happen agian..
