Overfilling a brake is a bad idea. If/when the fluid heats up and starts expanding, it will run out of space in the reservoir. With no place to go, it starts to pump out the caliper pistons, engaging the brake making it a closed circuit. It heats up more, expands more, engages the brake more until something gives. That could be a boil over, where the fluid gasses out and all braking is lost or it could find the weakest seal and start leaking. Most folx I've heard who overfill their brake are looking for quicker engagement. If that's the...

1/19/2024 8:46pm I let them out and they’re working good now also when u said if I wanted faster engagement I had to pull the lever do you mean like pushing the pistons out a bit and then bleed?

Likely so. Be smart in how you remove the excess. Remove the fluid from the lever end. Set the lever up like you're gonna bleed it with Shimano's bleed cup, drop the wheel out, remove the brake pads, and push the caliper pistons back into the bores. Remove the bleed cup and thread the bleed screw back in. That'll insure you have the correct amount of fluid in the system.
