oil in airbox
I had the drain from the airbox full of oil after riding a long wheelie and was wondering if this is a problem? It has never done it before but I was figured I better ask if anyone else had this problem.

the problem is dont ride long wheelies, and dont overfill the crankcase with oil when you do an oil change.. anything more than half way up the sight glass = too much

Or you could simply plug the crankcase breather port and just run a "vent" filter right off the crankcase connection. That way oil gets all over your boots.....lol

Locking Oil filler Cap
On the subject of over filling. About two months ago, I pulled into a shell station to fill up and take a leak. After I pulled out of the station, I got stuck in traffic, and after 10 minutes of idiling from light to light, my bike starts blowing black smoke and dies. Bike refuses to start, so I let her cool down and do a walk around inspection. I discovered that the oil filler cap was loose, just sitting there. That seemed odd to me, but I didn't think anymore about it until my mechanic told me that the crankcase was way over filled. So, that makes me wonder if some asshole back @ the Shell station vandalized my bike ? So, I'm looking for a way to lock my oil filler cap. Any ideas ?
