Way back in my day's working on 50cc Vespa Moped's I found this condition.
Had many using junk injector or premix oil, all led to the Exhaust Port Clogging or Closing up.
Very common problemo.
Same with the Pipe, Many were clogged with gue.
Drop the pipe and look up the exhaust port.

Ya were bout three weeks behind.
Better than the Rust belt of NEO I grew up in but not as good as Fort Worth were I spent nearly half my life.
The Asphalt here holds up very well compared to Fort Worth and the Rust belt.
I tried Perelli and Dunflops of several different compositions in Fort Worth and never got comfortable on them.
Other than long periods between rain were the oil and grease slicked up the roads the Asphalt seemed to get polished.
I could just touch the throttle on my Street Fighter (may she rest in peace) and spin the rear, woke me right up.
I know when they repaved TMS they went from a Limestone base compound to a Granite base. Limestone soaks up water like a sponge.
I seemed to get better grip and feel from my 1970 whatever I think K-781's on my old RD. maybe age is a factor also.
These new Battle Axe feel great but they are wearing very quickly in the middle, only 1,300 miles on the Fireblade.
Supposed to warm up soon so I'll get back to work on the sissy stripe.
Hey I see you In Westlake Ca, I had a office for awhile in Santa Paula, My associate had a F-4I, he would let me take her out for lunch, up the 150 to Ojai.
What a great ride, the 150 had wide burms on the corners so coming up on a Car they would move aside and let me attack the corners.
There was a great Burger joint just into Ojai I used to enjoy.
guess I totally jacked this thread.

I'll take a stab at this.
Couple things, In Il is the Scoot new or did it sit over a few months of Winter with Gas from last fall or Winter in it?
If the oil is showing Overfull I seriously doubt or no way there is that much Blow By on the new rings to cause a overfull condition.
If so you would have so much Positive Crank Case pressure that you wold be Blowing all kinds of oil out the Breather.
I have found two different Ring packs in these late model Four Smoke Scoots.
a .039 Top (1mm) a .047 second and a .110 three pice Oil ring.
Second a even thinner .031 top, .031 second and a .059 Oil ring.
The Top or compression Ring is of good quality Stainless with a Chrome Face, The Cylinder's now are all Plateau Honed with a very Fine Finish.
A Plateau hone can be visualized like a Pyramid with the Sharp Pointy top Knocked off Flat, The Older Honing process is like a Sharp pointy Pyramid.
The later in break in you had to knock the top off the Pyramid with Much thicker ring packs.
These Modern Cylinder Piston assy, Seal up very well from the get go.

The Bright Side.
i would venture to guess that there has been some fuel sitting in the carb/Tank that has caused the Float and or needle and Seat to stick open causing the Overflow of Gas
in the oil, Hopefully just by running it you have run some fuel thru it and it cleaned itself, If not and you have no tools or skills you may want to try a Ethanol Treatment..
All to most of the Ethanol treatments use Petroleum Distillates as a cleaner so not much difference in what brand.

Very happy with these upgrades, Feel She's a fun reliable Scoot.

Born and raised in the Rust belt of NEO, back in the day young and dumb I busted out equipment in the salt dust etc and always paid the price.
I will not take anything out in the salt dust any more, usually takes till early May. Many intersections had piles of salt dumped.
Ive tried everything you could imagine, Like running the Boat in the ocean, with all the stainless it still took a beating.
They salted the snit out of the roads here in Randleman last week with the Ice storm. a good gully washer washed it all away.
71 today and I feel the Need!!!!
