Sounds like you need a little info.
The oil level is always checked with the engine off, just like a car engine.
To properly check the oil level the bike must be held upright, not leaning on the side stand. Get yourself a mirror on a stick so you can sit on the bike and look down to see the sight glass in the mirror. Or you can hunker down and hold the bike upright while checking the level.
Oil volume is most important. 1300 milliliters or 1.3 liters. 1400 milliliters or 1.4 liters with an oil filter change.
The oil itself should not be an oil for your typical car engine. It should be a moto specific oil suited for a wet clutch in a bike. Jaso specs are the required oils. You can find that on the oil container. If your oil meets Jaso specs you are good to go.
Rotella is a cheap effective oil that meets Jaso specs. Dino or synthetic will work well. Cost wise the dino will do very well compared to many other oils on the market.
Oil filters are pretty much all the same but don't go paying for a Suzuki oil filter. Hi-Flo make an identical filter for less. HF-136 is the part number. Bike shops, small engine shops and parts stores are a source as they are a common filter for many engines out there.
If you do have too much oil in the engine just drain some out. Too much oil with likely get all foamy and not do any lubricating.
