ok .. So I just did my 600 mile service myself at 562 miles .... Changed oil and filter ... Put exactly 4 quarts of 10 -30 honda oil in .... Thought I would have to add a little more but to my surprise , the oil level after cranking it up and then letting it set overnight is about 1 millimeter above the high mark in the window .... My question is ... Is this ok , or do I need to drain a little out to get it under the high mark ... Keep in mind .... I already put 80 miles on the bike after changing the oil .... Should I drain some out or not ...??? I'm thinking it's ok but I'm not the mechanic that some of you are ... 1 millimeter over the high mark ok or not ?
.... Also keep in mind that the bike was hot when I changed the oil ... I had just rode 60 miles before changing it ... Oil was good and hot when I drained it
