a little is ok, as long as your not over the glass window when your bikes level you shouldn't need to drain any..

maybe. I'm not totally sure on how much is too much, but i know to the top of the glass is ok. If when the bike is sitting on level ground your glass is totally full + more you might wanna take some out unless your riding around on one wheel.
