Your my new favorite. Thats hilarious.

So in context if we put an excess amount of oil we might be susceptible to foaming + drag?
Too little = better HP worst lubrication?

I think the crankshaft has to be submersed inorder to froth the oil. I believe if your oil level is even just a little high it'll still create windage. I especially notice this on the ninjette. When my oil level is high I get heavier engine breaking compared with when its around the middle/lower of the sight. Unless its high and the oils real hot. Am I crazy? anyone else notice this? Maybe it'll change when I switch to Synth.
