I ran the bike for several minutes and waited a few minutes and checked the inspection window. It was dry. Barely a spray of oil was noticeable and certainly nowhere near the "L" line. :shocked:
Should I add more oil? If so, how much is safe to add? Has anyone ever had a similar problem like this?
Thanks for the help!

I think what you did was overfill it to the point where
the sight glass is below the level of the oil!
Try draining a half quart or so, then see what happens.
Remember to check the level with the bike straight
up and down, NOT resting on the kickstand. What I do is
to rst the kickstand on a short piece of 2x4.
