Yes Blueknight. I'll never know when, where or who over filled it. But that's ok. Caught it at 200 miles so no harm done. It wasn't me because i didn't put any oil in it.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

John, Don't let Bluenight's observations let any doubt creep into your psyche. The oily gremlins came late in the night and put a few teaspoons of extra oil in the tank and that is how it came to be slightly overfilled. The dealership warded off those oily gremlins and all is well in the world. They likely will never be back to mess with you as long as your warranty is intact. Do watch out for the million other gremlins that we could sensitize you too if we are given enough time:yikes:.
Just go out, break that puppy in properly, and then ride it like you stole it.:yes:
A guess on what happened. I am on my 3rd Spyder and 2nd 1330, also many mc's over the years. The higher paid techs usually don't do oil changes and are not used to the different sumps on different mc's. The Canams must be warmed up prior to checking the level and if the oil was checked cold an extra quart could be added. When I had my last oil change I told the change tech 5.2 quarts. He called me back to the shop later and showed the dip stick with low oil and wanted to add more. I told him no and why and since I live close and had provided the oil I would check when I got home. Checked ok when it warmed.
