Too Much Oil?????
«

So about a month ago I noticed my oil was down to the lower bar. I bought some and topped it off to get it to the top bar. I had checked it a few times after and it looked like I put in the right amount, about 1/2 quart. I've put on about 500 miles since adding oil. Bike runs fine, no problems, but now the entire window is completely full! Can too much oil in there do any damage? I don't have the setup to drain any. I ran it yesterday for about a 1/2 hour and as of this AM the window is completely full. Thanks for the advice...

Per the manual and industry knowledge you should check the oil when it is warm not hot or cold. Let it run for just a couple of minutes and check it. If it is over the high level you'll want to get some out of there asap. Running too much oil is just as bad if not worse than not enough.
Just use a 10 mm allen socket for the drain plug and don't pull it out all the way. You should be able to get some out that way. Or get a thin turkey baster type deal and suck it out of the fill plug.

You can also use a spray bottle nozzle, just stick the tube down the filler hole and squeeze away into a bucket or bottle

You probably already know this but it's worth mentioning.
Make sure you check the oil level w/ the bike upright and level not on the kick stand.

Wow, that is about the coolest idea I've heard.
