Bike seems sluggish after oil problem
I was riding my bike today and the oil cap somehow backed its self out and came off. I pulled over and shut the bike off after my little oil bath(bike only ran a max of 10 seconds with the cap off.) I went and got some oil and filled it back up.(no I didn't drive the bike there). Got it back to the full mark and headed home. Its only about 2 miles. I thought maybe from re vibration at higher rpms caused the cap to come loose so I decided to crank her wide open. I throttles it wide open in first and it seemed sluggish so I let off and it seemed like the rear tire wanted to lock up( it acted like ABS on a car when you hit real hard). I then tried it again in a higher gear and it just seemed real sluggish like somethin was holding it back. Is it caused by what happened with the oil. I also got gas could it be bad gas. I recently changed the sprockets also to +1 -2. Any help is greatly appreciated. I vowed not to ride it anymore until I change the oil with good quality oil and new filter. Also its not making any knocking or pinging noises. Everything sounds good and I know what a bad more sounds like and everything sounds good.

Not to much oil came out.Could it possibly be that I put to much oil in. I thought oli could see it in the sight window bit it was dark and I was using ny cell phone to see. Maybe I did put to much oil in and from talking to people that would make it sluggish like that. Or the ethanol that is in the gas. I filled up at a sheetz
