The fucking oil was almost over-flowing out of the dipstick hole. I check it on the site and it's only 2.75. I knew 3.5 didn't sound right. Oh well. I ran it for like 20 seconds. Hope I didn't fuck anything up.

3.5 ? Geez...one would think working the counter he would know or go ask someone that did know or admit he doesn't know instead of guessing.
I wouldn't see how you messed anything up only running it "20 seconds" at all.
If you took it out on the road and ran it hard then maybe the seals could have gotten stressed but if you never even took it out then I wouldn't be too concerned.
I never can remember capacity's either having two bikes plus with a 4, 6, and 8 cylinder cage in the driveway....I have to grab the manual everytime.
Oh and thanks for the link.
