A question was recently posted regarding adding excess oil on purpose. I didn't follow that 100%, but I do have a similar situation - I guess.
About 1500 miles ago I changed the oil and was careful to add the correct amount. I checked the dipstick multiple times and it was perfect in the end.
Now, my bike doesn't burn or use a drop of oil so I rarely check the level. I tend to check it once between changes. Well, I checked it last night and it was about 25% high!!!
I'm draining the excess today.
The question is this: What potential problems could this cause? I've heard mention of the crank "foaming" the oil if it's to high. I've also heard that excess oil can blow out seals. The bike runs great. No leaks. Should I be concerned?
