I do believe that I may have put in a little too much oil on my last oil change and that the bike is relieving itself. The mechanic said I should clean my air filter and the problem should resolve itself. I don't know about all of you but this doesn't sound entirely accurate.



If your crankcase vent hose is still connected to the air box the answer could be Yes. You may have oil collecting in the bottom of the air box. There is a tube running out from below it, may have a bulb type thing allowing oil to collect and squeezed out. May be worth just removing the filter, routing a long rag past the baffle plate & soaking up any pooled oil, generally cleaning out the air box. Hope that's all it is.
