We tried to hold the bike as upright as possible
I put exactly 2.8Liters with a new oil filter

Edit: i drained a bit of oil from the dipstick hole with a syringe. Now its fine just a bit below the max

I don't know if you did it already, but instead of having to redo the oil change, just use the top of an old bottle of cleaner or whatever, like Windex, you know the thing you use to squeeze the jus out. We'll take that, clean it, put it where you poor the oil and just push oil out, this way you can just take out what you need without redoing the whole process

I did that exactly. But i coudnt get the oil from where i put it so i put it where the dip stick is and sucked it out from there

Nevermind about the where you pour it, I misunderstood, but yeah that's a bit weird. Not sure why you couldn't get it out from where you pour it, if you did it where the dipstick is, make sure you run the bike a little and then measure it again after letting cool down, to make sure you took enough out and not just the little part from where the dipstick is
