ok well it seams it isnt the flywheel stator seal after all 1. This video is almost unviewable. You move the camera too much before objects become focused or observable. 2. If oil is coming out the front the problem is in the front. 3. Now that you understand you overfilled the oil. Did you drain everything and refill it to 750ml? 4. Do you have all the emission equipment still installed. If so that would explain why oil is in the air filter. |

My question is will the emission system getting oil in it be a symptom of something else? sorry about the bad vid ill take a better one if need be. also the valve drain hose that connects to the air box has a hole in it. Im sure that is where the oil is spraying from. that hole no I didnt drain out all the oil. it leaked out by the time i got her home... |

thanks for the reply. i am almost sure the oil is coming out of a big hole in my vent tube. I overfilled the bike with oil. My question now is if the air filter is coated in oil, will that cause the vent tube to continuously spray oil? also is the vent tube and egr system gathering oil a symptom of something else?

lol Rich! A little oil in that airbox compartment is normal. That was abnormal. But so are you. I agree with you and that concerns me very much. I believe your theory of Martians taking over our brains is wrong but you overfilling your crankcase is correct. The airbox is supposed to pull vapor off the case but I just don't like that. I use a hose like Alley (wanted to add some credibility) by running the breather up hill a ways and putting a filter on it, preferably menthol. But you must plug the airbox hole, no induction leaks young man...and clean your room! Correct everything and then expel the Martians! Have Alley and JR got done with the Brazil guy's bike? Gaahd that was embarassing! The Great and Powerful Stinky  |

Sounds like you may have this problem figured out. First you need to spend a lot cleaning up the mess. To ensure you are not spraying more oil every surface needs to be cleaned. Once that is completed properly fix the valve cover hose. Take it off, go to an auto parts store and find a match. It should be only a couple dollars. And clean out any hoses with carb spray that run to the airbox. Then clean your airfilter extremely well then air dry. Next drain the oil again. Allow it to drip as long as it needs. You want every drop out. While the oil is draining check the valve cover screws. Make sure they are tight, but not too tight. Hose connections need to be check also. Refill the oil with 750ml. Take it for a ride and check for leaks. At this point hopefully it should be fix. If you still have a leak the problem is probably a motor gasket. Then you will need to order motor gaskets and maybe a BBK. |

Then you will need to order motor gaskets and maybe a BBK. I have extra motor gaskets. I was wondering if i should follow rich and Alley's advice and just remove the evap and egr system all together. What do you think? also i want to know how to clean oil off of the air filter? |

If emission tests are not mandatory for registration, yes, throw all the emission crap in the trash as fast as possible. Your motor will thank you everyday for it.
If it is truly a overfill problem, the emission system is the reason you are having this problem. Without the emission system the overfilled oil would have dumped onto the road and be someone else's problem.

At this point you have no choice but to clean it with a mild soap and water if you don't want to buy a new one. I would be very gentle with, dunk it instead of spraying pressured water on it. Maybe a quick spray of greaser then rinse. Air dry over night not in direct sunlight.
If you are going to do a proper cleanup as I previously described the airfilter should be the first item cleaned. The other cleaning will take you a while and the airfilter will be dry when you are done tomorrow.

so oil in the filter is due to being over filled? and also oil in the air filtr will cause oil to be sucked up into the air box? what are some other causes of oil in the air box?

Update us once you are done. Do a very proper cleanup as I described, then update us. Don't forget pictures and videos should be though, clear, and matriculate. |

Just on the center stand... Running the engine without an air filter is not a problem. But I wouldn't ride it down the road. |
