Picked up my MT07 today - torture obeying running in limits but glad I did - when I got home I checked oil level to find no bubble - had to lean bike about 10 degrees away from me before any air was visible! I ended up removing 150ml with a catheter & syringe (to avoid having to guess as oil ran out of sump plug) pushed past clutch plates, before it read at maximum. Was a little surprised at this to say the least, so much for PDI!
Anyone else found this?
Anyone know for sure if comes filled from Yam (I would have thought so,they must run it up at factory) or if its a dealer job?

Cheers guys

I had the same with mine after the first "Free" service. Tbh, I just left it.

It's coming due for it's first annual service now (done about 4,000 miles on the oil) and no ill effects.

It hasn't used any oil either.
