    Too much engine oil

    I've been reading Cycle World long enough to know that over-filling with oil is verboten. I may have a touch (maybe 1/5 quart, no more) too much 10-40 in my 1100EZ.

    It fills the window. Any experiences with this?

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

          use a bit of fuel line as a pipette and take the oil out that way.

                  a small amount over full wont hurt at all, as long as it isnt filled to the brim! as Tkent says, just ride it.
