Completed oil change and after a few rides I seem to have a oil leak at the filter. Did not think I over tighten. So should I tighten more I really thought I went 3/4 which is max per manual. It will still move but very snug.

Did it spin on freely until the gasket touched when you were putting on new oil filter? If not, then you cross-threaded it.
