Used only 4 quarts (not even 4.1 like the owner's manual states) and it's completely filling the sight glass with oil. Seems super odd. Should be perfect or even a bit low. I'm wondering if the type of filter has anything to do with it. I used K&N.
Anyway, I'm going to loosen the drain plug and drain a bit of oil out. But I think on my DLX the amount to correctly fill is actually 3.9 qts. And I think someone even stated that in a comment.
Is that with a new filter? Perhaps you need to crank the engine, so some oil goes into the filter.

I actually prefilled the filter quite a bit. And sight glass is still showing full after a good 40 min ride. 4 qts is all I opened and used. My guess is it's .1 qt over filled for whatever reason. Lesson learned for next time.
