Uhhh......carb? On an '09?

I have been wrong before but I am almost certain our bikes do not have a carb but I think I get what you are saying. The blow by you are talking about might be caused by too much oil. Some of the folks on here have found that if the engine oil is topped off it can be too much. Try using a straw or something and remove a little bit (staying within the full/add range). Hope this helps a little.

Your crankcase vent is routed to your airbox. Check for excess oil in your airbox and clean if necessary. I would think that once the engine is broken in this should stop. If not consult your service dept.
