Generally with an R1 you need to fill as normal to the full line then add a small overfill of approx 250ml to help combat surge and the oil level lamp
being activated.
R1's do seem to use a bit of oil if used for prolonged high revs even in the bike , so check it regularly and when it drops to the full line
then add your 250 ml again.

you can always give Mark or Col a ring just to confirm.

Yes i think you are correct, i have paperwork showing Darren Terry. I also have the 2004 magazine feature showing my car. I'll be topping up the
oil first thing in the morning just to be sure.

yep as said above fill it above the glass. Stops any problems caused because the engines does not have centralpetal forces acting on the oil. Good
luck with the MAC 1 they are nice chassiss and the company is nice to deal with.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
