I changed oil and filter recently. Put in the exact amount of oil as per handbook, 3.4ltrs. Ran bike up to temp and let it sit for 5 minutes and checked level. Just below high mark. Check it again hour later. Sight glass completely glass completely full.

Similar story I changed the oil and filter at my friend's workshop and he warned me they are frustrating bikes to get the oil level correct. He said the engine must be warm and best take it for a ride but when returning to the shop it must idle for a couple of minutes before turning off. So did all that and it was low on the sight glass therefore added a small amount to correct it. Got home and the level is above the max. I can see the level if I lean the bike so I left it as is and it hasn't dropped in 5000km. It annoys the hell out of my OCD.
