Default correct oil level

So, where does the oil level need to be on my 08 600rr? Right now it is between the two little marks, but a little below the top line. I'm also getting a rattling noise from the engine when i rev it up ine neutral. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

i have the same "rattle" noise on my bike, shanged the oil still did it, added a little extra oil and it still does it, started last year bike still runs strong... the dealer ship said its a "normal" engine noise...

the lines ur talking about are the min. and max. marks, as long as the oil is between the two your good to go, i prefer to beas close to the max. line as i can get just incase i develope a minor leak and need to limp the bike home

The dealership is right, it is "normal". It's valve chatter....every engine has it, but you can hear it more on our bikes because you don't have hoods, and fenders to muffle the sound. And if your oil level is above the top line, I would drain some out.....overfilling your oil can cause damage to your engine to your drivetrain since it affect not only the engine, but the transmission as well.
