Did I just overfill with oil?

Today I parked the mc towards the wall (think it was in level). I filled oil just below the upper marking. See picture. But if I move her a little bit towards me the oil reaches top of the oil level indicator glass. I filled the oil filter before fitting it. Took her for a spin.
When she is on the side stand there is no oil visible in the indicator. When keeping her upright just a little bit to the left the oil is on max level. A few inches/cm to the right the oil is filling up the glass.

Do I need to remove some oil?

Is the level in the picture when the bike is on the side stand? If so when you stand it upright does it fill the sight glass then yes.

On your model, you might be able to use a baster or similar to take some out. If not you'll have to drop some with the drain plug (good luck).

You’re good. When the bike is running on side stand you shouldn’t see much oil in the sight glass
