Don't panic Darrin, when the wheel turns the level will go down. You can't really
overfill. If you want to see what I mean take the filler plug out, let the excess
run out. Then when the level is at the brim (right at the top almost oozing out)
turn the rear wheel in its normal rotating direction, the level will drop as the
gears move making room for the oil. The level is fine if it returns to the brim
when you stop turning the wheel.
Obviously your bike will be on its centre stand while your'e doing all this.
