How much oil did you add? How do you know there's too much?

An SV can have a surprising amount of extra oil in it and run just fine - smokily, but fine.

Was it raining? Had you recently got fuel? Did it feel 'misfirey' or 'spluttery', has it been a git to start for the last week? Does it turn over at normal speed and not start or just not turn over at all?

C'mon man, details details.
