I put too much oil in my motorcycle, is it going to harm it?

Question

I changed the oil in my 2004 cagiva raptor 125 (transmission) and i put back almost 1 liter of oil. The bike is supposed to have 800ml of oil in it. Is it going to harm it in any way?

Overfilling the oil can cause pressure to build up and potentially bust some seals. I would recommend just letting the excess out and stick to the manufacturer recommended volume.

If you really want, save a 1/5th of each liter, and every fifth oil change will be free :)
