This. The dealer said to swing by whenever I am free and they would take a look at it.

It was about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup overfilled. :/

I rode it for ~ 30 minutes last night, and rode it ~20 minutes to work this morning. Does it need more time than that?

it's automatic.

Doesn't sound very much overfull to me. You're 4-6 ounces over on a 64 ounce sump. (The bike holds 2 quarts.)

I relent, time to take it to the dealer.

im using it in my m112 engine, feels silky smooth, the oil has not got dark yet, 2000 miles.

Marvel Mystery Oil tastes better. Makes for a great marinade.

You shouldn't overfill anytime. It causes hydraulic pressure surges in the crankcase. I've seen oil pans split due to overfilling.

I followed the DIY I found on the Kawi forum to a T...

Except I had the rear of my bike on a stand, which made the oil pool at the front of the sump. Oil level was bang on while on the stand, but overfilled once back on the ground.

Yeah, I know what you mean...try it on a side stand...LOL

You have to keep 'level' in mind as you now know. Even note the angle of the floor.

The clown that overfilled a International 4 cyl and caused it to pop the pan (2-3 trucks) had a Honda 350 and it was running real bad....I took a look at it for him and found it under filled (air cooled engine) by over a quart. He was lucky he didn't fry the top end.

What, you're finding it difficult to hold the bike perfectly level with your right hand while squatting down to see the oil level in the sight glass?

I don't know who came up with that procedure, but it works better if you have a helper.

Yeah, tell me about it. I just changed my oil, and now I'm kinda worried about overfilled myself. I know I put in less than the specified capacity, but it's right at the top of the sightglass. Or not. Depending on how you hold the bike. I'm going to try to get another reading with a helper tonight.
