Go check some his posts. His anti-trailer rants have become beyond annoying ...

Actually it is normal. If you (the factory or dealership) fill the crankcase to the "full" mark on the dipstick, this usually happens. Try running the crankcase about 1/2 qt below full. This should address the problem.

Know it all pontificating d***s make for good LMFAO.
Ones life must suck pretty bad when you MUST bash what you have no clue about. Too bad for Mr Sucky
Probably one to bash a disadvantaged kid to make oneself better about their s****y life.
Maybe a know it all just like the POS one named oblowzo. More LMFAO

Wow, what a douchey reply.

Welcome to the forum, *******...

OP, I'm with the guys who say it's overfilled. Happened to me after an oil change and putting the "required" amount back in. The thing is, it NEVER completely empties when you drain it so, I end up adding about 3/4 to 1qt less than capacity. And, now I have no more oil spewing from the AC.

If you're still running the stock air filter and you oil soaked it, that will cause it to continue to blow oil out and down the side of your bike. I'm speaking from experience here.

I rode my bike through what I consider to be the proper break in and changed the oil at 200 miles. I filled it on the side stand to full cold, warmed the bike to double check it and everything was perfect. i rode it to continue the break in and it started slinging oil everywhere. I drained and refilled with 3 qts at the 1,000 mile mark and it continued to throw oil out. I replaced the air filter with an aftermarket stage 1 and the problem is gone. I now have another 3 qt. oil change under my belt that was performed at the 5k mile mark and everything has been fine. 3 qts, don't top it off.

I confess that I was pretty ripped about this little issue myself when it happened to me. I enjoy doing my own work on the bike and I'm borderline **** about it. To have it act overfilled when topped off perfectly... enrage, engage.

I'm on the opposite side of your view regarding trailering (and I've never trailered anywhere YET) but I LMAO at your answer.

So are you an aqua-chem, camco, or liquid gold type person? By your response I would say you are probably the liquid gold type.
