recent oil change = problem

hi guys, i done my first oil change on my cg125 yesterday as well as replacing the spark plug.

Just done a couple of miles on it.
I expected everything to be a lot smoother, instead the opposite has happened, everything is really rough, especially changing gears, really clunky.

Is this normal after oil/spark plug change?
Let me know, thanks.

Sounds like you might have overfilled the oil.
