Default Transmission overfilled

'05 RK ......I changed all of my fluids today, unfortunately I transposed the fluids amounts and put 32oz in the transmission instead of the required 24oz...any damage caused or possible problems I should look for?

I took my bike for a ride, doesn"t seem to be bother by it.

The excess fluid will vent overboard once you get it hot. Any way to stick a syringe with plastic tubing in the fill hole and suck out 8 oz's?

Turkey baster is how I remove excess fluid. Go get one from Walmart. Don't use your wifes / girlfriends turkey baster. They will get mad at you.

Agreed, I keep a pump from an old Windex bottle in my tool box.
Works very well and costs nothing.

Whatever method you use, get the excess out of there.
