put your scooter level on the stand take out the higher plug and fill till it runs out of there then put the plug back in, that's why its there!

You've had all the answers you need, 700 fresh engine, 500 re fill, the proper way (edens answer) and yes someone's over filled if 700 came out (700 been used on top up which is to much)
