Default Oil coming out of the air filter?????

Can anyone tell me what it means if oil is coming out of the air filter? I just got the oil changed last week and had no problems. I havent rode the bike for a couple of days and went to pull it out and saw oil leaking out of the air filter. I put less then 200miles on the bike since the oil change. I am hoping that maybe the dealer over filled or something very simple but fear the worst......

As you suggested, probably over-filled the oil.

FWIW, my '08 UC seems to like the hot oil level at about 3/4's - any more and it spits oil out the filter.

Hope that helps!

Looks like you've got more than one thread going on this.
It has nothing to do with over filling. It's a common problem and here's the cure.

Go back to the last thing done...too much oil in the bike.
