Since im running late for my final i just park the bike and head to class. On the way home the rpm's where still a little off but not as bad and as i got closer to home they seemed to be back to normal. When i get home i take a look at the oil gauge and the oil level seemed to jump up from when i checked it in the morning. Also the oil has a pretty good smell of gasoline. The coolant level has'nt changed, thats why i suspect gas. Does anyone know what the issue could be? The bike is a 2012, has 3,500 miles on it. I just changed the oil on it at 3000 miles.
here is a pic of the oil:

my oil looks and smells the same what ended up being wrong with yours, I also have 2012 with rpm issues. Have no idea what's wrong
