Oil overfill

Read your manual again. There is a "dry" fill specification (3.0 qts) and a "wet" fill specification (2.5 qts). "Wet" fill is anytime after the engine has initially had oil put into it (ie. at the factory).

Steve, you don't need a lift to do the oil changes. I use a paint pan and it slides right under the bike. Leaves enough room to get at the plug and holds plenty of oil. When you pull the oil filter, slip card board under it and puch a hole in the bottom and top to drain the oil from the filter (keeps the mess down).
Until you start doing your own I would mention the over fill to them before they touch it again.

I guess you would be better off with the jack for checking the wheel bearings and the fork bearings. There was a post here some where about using a 2X8 and a bar to lift the bike which would work nicely in a pinch. I made my own tool for clutch adjustment. I welded a wrench to a 11/16 socket so I could hold the adjustment with the allen wrench while tightening the jam nut. Everything else is pretty much gravy.
