And, in my opinion, changing the oil is NOT an option. It is a MUST DO.
That crankcase is suppose to have oil in it, not gasoline.
You risk damaging bearings, cylinder wall, piston, etc.

1. Drain all the old oil "aggressively".
Drain, tilt bike around with drain open, let it drain some more, repeat.

2. Put in a quart of oil or so.
3. Pull the spark plug.
4. Squirt a bit of oil in the spark plug hole
5. Spin the engine with the starter (spark plug is still OUT)
6. Tip the bike around a bit to move the oil around.
Repeat 5 and 6 a few times.
7. Toss the oil filter, toss the air filter. Replace with new.
8. Drain the oil one more time.
9. Put in spark plug. Fill with 2 quarts oil.
Done.

This is great advise. A lot of time the reason the crankcase fills with gas is a piece of crap between the needle and seat. The Raptor petcocks have very fine screen so it probably didn't come from the tank. With the newer gas it may be time to change your gas line. The have a tendency to deteriorate and cause havoc.

welllll....I did as suggested and after a trying time getting out the carb (definitely had to pull battery box to make room), I replaced the float and cleaned up the carb.
Changed oil and filter aggressively, new plug, filter and put her back together.
She ran great for about 15 or so miles....then....MASSIVE oil leak. Rotella all over my rear wheel and muffler...bad.

Now, I've had a slight oil leak problem after I did the cam chain tensioner and actually replaced the clutch cover gasket TWICE. (leaked after the first time).

So what do I do now...Did the gas in my oil in the crankcase destroy this gasket causing it to leak so bad now?
Should I just get a new gasket and change the oil ?
Will this likely work or are there other things I need to fix also?
or...
Should I set in on fire and curse the day I bought it?
Help, guys, I am seriously at my wits end with this bike. Seems like the more I fix on it the worse it gets.
Undecided

..., you mean the three washers on the crankcase cover?
not sure what you mean...
Looking at bike bandit drawing of the crankcase cover they are indicated as 6.7 and seem to be on the outside.. is this right?

The open end goes in first - toward the motor.

Yeah, that oring WAS swollen when I changed the filter, so I replaced it. Since it's a new oring, I really don't think this is the issue. But thats a good guess, cause, like I said, the old one didn't look good.
