Default Iron 2017 Oil comes out by admission

Let's see if the same thing happens to someone. I have an Iron with 5000 miles very careful, all original except the tail (RUSH SILPS ONS 3 1.75) and the oil was changed twice. When I make a route for more than half an hour at a rate of 70 miles per hour, oil comes out through the intake, this increases on the hottest days staining the side of the motorcycle. The bike was three times to the official service HARLEY for this matter (it is still under warranty), tomorrow I will take it again .. They changed orings adjusted etc., they attend me very well in the official agency but the problem still persists. According to find out in my country Harley uses mineral oil HD.
Did someone happen the same thing ?
THANKS !!!

here
the same? Thank you

Could be something as simple as having a bit too much oil in the tank. When you check the oil where is the level on the dipstick?

Sounds like it is coming out of the breathers? Keeping the oil level below 1/2 on the dipstick may help. Or, re-route breather away from air cleaner.

It was between the minimum / maximum range, I was thinking that I replaced the meter with this one ... that's why I'm out of range?

They already did it in the service, in theory at the maximum level I understand that it should not happen
