your oil tank may have to much oil in it ..... take a little bit out . You dipstick may read full , still take a little bit out

Sounds like oil breather, cam and pinion gears may not be aligned correctly.

Is it blowing at idle or on the road? Is it an aftermarket breather that you attached yourself? If it is positioned where air blows into the breather while riding it will not breathe and build up pressure and blow oil out when the pressure overcomes the outside force. Try repositioning the breather so wind pressure isn't against it while riding.

What was stated above plus are the umbrella valves sealing?? What kind of rings and how many miles on the rebuild?? How hard are you riding it?? Are you sure the rings are in right side up and gapped properly??

Your bike should be a top breather. If your bike is a bottom breather, there is a piece of plastic that is a seperator that takes the oil out of the air going out of the breather. It goes in the tube that is in the gearcase below the breather gear. Is that in place???

WHere is this peice of plastic located do I need to Pull the cam cover to see it? |
Yes it is inside the cam cover, to the rear and slightly below the breather assembly. It is a round tube that goes horizantly through the case.
