"Cough" - egg cup

Apart from once I have never had to top up but -low milage disclaimer, the time I have to top up I put down to halfords oil going prematurely thin and under fast (black fazer) acceleration the oil go swilled away from the sensor. 

I changed my oil very carefully the correct Darrsi method and after leaving the bike for 2 weeks the oil has gone past the sight glass, could the garage have put very slightly too much in and sent it over the sight glass, when you cant see anything its very difficult to see anything  :o try getting some one to put it on the side stand whilst you look

What I mean is that if it is over the mark you can not see anything so whilst you get on your hands and knees get someone to tip the bike over and you can then see if what you are looking at is just oil that has gone over the sight glass rather than a fooked up sight glass
Sidestand's no good at all, it needs to be on level ground on the centre stand to 'see' what's going on, if you still have that privilege.
Book says change every 6000 miles  so my 4000 change shouldn't be an issue, barring any leakages.
