[QUOTE="Highbeam, post: 248288, member: 23735"] I did the same thing on my last oil change. The manual said add x quantity of oil and when I got most of it in it overflowed. I didn't know how much spilled so I added too much after running the bike to fill the case. On the next ride I can hear more of an engine whine, like a turbo whistle. I am about 3/4 inch above the mark too. Oil is cheap so I will change it correctly before the next ride. Trying to siphon out the extra is more of a trail fix. The oil is cheap and could probably use another change anyway. Consider it a flush. What damage could too much oil cause? I too wonder. You can seize a lawn mower engine if you add too much oil.
