When I changed my oil over the weekend I added a bit too much oil. Not much but enough that it's to the top of the sightglass when I think it's level. If I lean it a couple degrees it drops to within the range.
I used Rotella T & a Napa Filter, added about 2.3L started it up to get the filter filled, then added some more, Using the 1L mark on the bottle as the max measurement I stopped above the mark, and checked and it was at the current level.
I haven't had someone hold it with a level across the seat or anything yet. I'll prob do that soon. If I decide to drain some what is the best method? Loosen the filter a little? Use a turkey baster through the fill hole? or live with it?
On another note, why don't they put the sightglass so you can check it while on the sidestand? that way you would know it's in the correct position.
