Hey all, My bike: 1998 VFR. I hadn't checked the oil and coolant level in a while. So I followed the Clymer manual's directions, let the bike idle for three minutes, turned it off, and waited three more minutes for all the oil to settle. While the bike was running, the oil level was in between the marks. But as the three minutes went by the level went higher and higher until it was over the maximum mark, and there was only a sliver of clear space left (my viffer has a small window that shows oil level. The last oil change was around 500 miles ago, so I should probably get an oil change anyway. How concerned should I be about the extra oil? I heard too much oil can lead to foaming, which could cause serious under lubrication. How worried should I be, considering the oil must have been at this level since the last oil change, 500 miles ago. Thanks for the help Josh
