I will try it, I fill my old school running the pump slow while watching the level. So it doesn't shut off on me. 

This post is to share my experience so far with a genuine hooligan 170i

1.  Changing the gear oil..
    A. You cannot really check the gear oil, to set the level the gear oil, is drained and filled with a measured amount. 
     B. Refilling the gear oil by letting the excess drain out the fill hole resulted in way more oil, which leaked out onto the rim.

2. Engine oil.

    A. When I slightly over filled the engine oil, the engine lost a lot of top end and lit a dash light.. Reading this forum, clued me to the overfill issue, and I used a generic plastic mustard bottle, with a piece of, clear hose on it to drain some out.. All better. 
   B. Today when I was adjusting the valves I might have seen how the ECM picks up the overfilled oil.. There is a vacuum sensor in the valve cover like an electronic PCV  valve.  This must read the disturbance in crankcase vacuum and light the trouble light. 

3. Performance. Longevity 

   A.  The bike is an easy 60 mph cruiser.  Mine doesn't suffer the massive over reading reported elsewhere.. Mine is  off 6 mph at 65

  B.  I am at roughly 4 thousand miles and have replaced nothing not even a headlight bulb.  The original tires show little wear.  And the tuning of the cvt is perfect. 

I don't know if this is the correct thread to post general comments about models.  This is only my second post.  And the help page is confusing if the moderator has a few suggested links for new forum members.  Or technical writing tips. Thanks
