You have too much oil in the bike. You have to check the oil with the bike held upright. Might be a great plan to do an oil change if you haven't already. Oil and a filter are cheap for what they do. Any oil that has a JASO certificate is good. Car oils will not do, they contain oil molifiers for better milage but play the dickens with a wet clutch.
Use a HiFlo HF136 oil filter, same as Suzuki filter but generally cheaper.
