Lot of oil in the Air Box
05/02/14 at 13:13:16
Recently I had a lot of Oil in the air box. I do believe it is from the crank case breath tube. How ever hey would there be oil in the box? Could it of been that there may of been too much oil in the bike?

I've had trouble with this in the past from filling up to the top line when vertical.
This can be ok, but if you're riding rough roads there's a good chance it'll end up in the airbox.

If it happens again, make sure the air filter is working well,, & have a look at the hose that comse out the top of the engine. It needs to come out, go up, then back,

So is it safe to say your not a list method oil guy, just a paranoid upright checker?

I have a superx like commute.
there's one hump I swear I've gotten air on.
and that's the one I like.
several others had names you normally don't repeat.
but since I've gotten the progressive shocks I've forgotten their names.
