Yes, this seems like the major concensus. Lesson learned!

Okay, used a turkey baster to take out about 1/2 to 1/3 quart of oil, and now the fill measures perfectly at the top of the fill line on the dipstick (of course measured hot, with the bike leaning on the jiffy stand).


Thanks for the suggestions!


Next time, 2 quarts refill, and then will slowly add to bring to the fill line!


R,
Sanjuro
