24K mile service

I bought my r1150r last year with about 20K miles on it. Its performance has been dropping off of late and I feel its obviously time for some service more in depth than an oil change.

I have tried to view it at different angles and I still seem to not be able to see anything. I keep the bike in the garage and also haven't observed any leaks.

thanks for the help guys. Do I need any special tools to drain the oil or will the ones in the bikes tool kit be ok. by the way, I bought the bike used and am not sure what oil the previous owner was using. Any thoughts, most people I have asked seem to believe it was probably 20w-50.

overfilling the oil

I am a new owner of an r1150r and when I have tried to check my oil level in the sight glass I cannot see anything. When I first purchased it I could see the oil level but after only 100 miles of riding I cannot see a thing. I added more oil, 1/2 quart and didn't see any change, I kept on until I ha...
