As long as we're taking oil... as you may know I picked up a new Deluxe yesterday. This afternoon, after giving the bike it's first good coat of wax, I warmed it up, on the center stand for 5 minutes (per the manual), then let it cool for 3 minutes, then checked the sight glass...this is what I found...

Looks a little FULL doesn't it!
After draining out about 1/4 of a quart...maybe more...this is what I've now got...and it still may be too much.

I don't understand why the oil looks like it's on an incline...the bike was definitely level.
But this whole exercise was pretty annoying. At this point the bike had 28 miles on it.
Question, how does Honda ship these bikes? I have to believe they have oil in them so they can be started up off the line. But maybe not? Does the dealer do that? If so, they messed this one up. I'm glad I caught it. Too much oil is almost as bad as too little.
