I recently changed the oil and ended up over filling slightly. It calls for 3.75 L and I put in 3.85 to 3.9. The sight glass is completely covered when cold but when the bike is tipped to the right almost to the limit of me holding it up by myself, you can see the line. The first day of a 1200 mile trip last week oil was seeping out of the fill hole at 70mph for 300 miles enough that the wind blast was spraying oil on the left side case. It was less noticeable toward the end of the trip.
Will the situation correct itself with normal oil usage?
Is the overfill significant enough to cause aeration of the oil by the crank?
As always, thanks for your help.
