Default Help fm107 new build
Just finished up a FM107 kit with level B heads on a new ultra limited.
went out for about 2 easy miles and have a pretty good amount of oil coming from what appears to be from the air cleaner.
Anyone have any thoughts? This is my second 107 kit and did not have this problem on the other bike.
Thank you

More than likely too high crankcase oil level.

And when you're done, hide it in the garage and get her a new one. DO NOT return it (don't ask me how I know...)
