It sounds like you have seriously over-filled the oil. This is not a good idea and can cause seals to blow out, blow by at the piston rings and in severe cases, possibly bent connecting rods. Drain the oil off and fill to spec. Sometimes they give the oil capacity on the side of the engine, in ml. measurement. For example a bike I have says: 1600ml If you don't know the conversion into quarts and can't find it anywhere on the internet, you can buy a cheap measuring container that has a metric reading on it.
I hope this helps you out, Good luck!
