Its pretty comon in the 14 . . . . just check your oil level and make sure its not over filled.
A little more detail on the bike as far as year - how many miles - engine mods would
help.

Very common on the 14, there are ways to stop it but it really does not hurt. Like Bob said just make sure the bike has oil and you are good. I clean it up everytime I am in there but it never really amounts to much. My bike has over 10k miles and hundreds of nitrous passes and it still goes like hell.

Bogus...... oil is oil........over fill a 14 just a little and WOT a few times a little oil blows by. The
engine case has to release pressure . Kind of like a sub woofer box is ported. Pistons on
down stroke make pressure in crankcase...... vent tube goes into air box. Ream the piss
out of a engine and some drops of oil vents with the air pressure. Low RPM=less air being
released from crankcase. Keep the oil level in the center of the lines on sight glass
and have fun. And yes I use Amsoil and no I don't sell it. :-)

My 07 had what seemed to be an unusual amount of oil in the airbox when i removed the secondary throttle plates at around 5,000 miles, but it always ran like a champ and i never had to add oil to it between changes.
My 08 didn't have a single drop of oil in the airbox when i removed the secondary throttle plates at only 800 miles.
like bob said it's common.

When the crankcase pressurises - if the bottom of the vent pipe is immersed in the sump oil, then oil will be forced up the pipe into the airbox. If the pipe is above the level of the oil then venting can be achieved without forcing oil up the tube.

OK.... I see what you are saying. I have not had the pan off my 14 and did Not realize
Kawasaki had the vent so far down in the crankcase. Thanks to you Both... :-)
