New (2000) GZ owner with oil level questions

To Water Warrior and others,
Thanks for the suggestions. I took a drinking straw and probed the fill hole and the straw will go only about six inches or so then hits obstructions so I can probable rule out the baster/suction attempts. Since you have done this by laying on the right side of your bike can you please furnish the proper socket size for the drain plug? I promise myself I am back on the diet today.
The HD guy who obviously overfilled it was real nice and this was his wife's first bike. She bought big HD too and this is how I got the GZ. Perhaps he took too good care of servicing it for her. But they are nice folks and I am happy for anyone to get the ride they want. I am scared to riide the bike as is, insured, plated, and all, so I have been just looking at it and waxing it.
Thanks,
Johnd
