I have a small problem with over-filling the oil.
I have three choices the oil is just under the top of the sight glass.
Just keep riding the America and the oil will burn off.
Undo the oil filter and let some oil out clean the filter and engine where the filter fits.
Put that oil filter back onto the engine.
Change the oil and filter it's 1,400 miles until next scheduled oil & filter change.
Suggestions?

If it is below the top of the sight glass you will be fine to let it go until you do the oil change.
