Its normal. keep the oil level a little lower next time you add some it will help.

Dealer probably over filled it and it is comming up from the breather hoses.

Only supposed to be 2 1/2 quarts of oil in the engine. If one of the techs overfilled it upon servicing to get it ready for you, it'll leak out the breather tube into the air filter. Check oil level-take some out if needed, clean up air filter and ride er'. Should be fine!

Three quarts if the engine has been dismantled and put back together. 2.5 for an oil change.

What they said, HD is very generous with that extra half quart of oil in te crankcase. Drain your oil until it reads properly on the dipstick. Start with 1/2 quart.............. I don't know how much you can actually overfill the oil hole.
