oil leak from air filter? please help
Noticed small amount of oil on my left fairing, traced it up to oil filter. It is not oil from BMC filter, it is motor oil. I know there is crank case ventilation, but have never seen this before on. I cant get to my manuel right now. The drain tube thing that runs down to the bottom of bike on left side that has container on end is full, should I empty it? Any ideas what to check? Bike running fine. It was shifting funny the other night racing, didnt wanna shift, hit limiter alot. please help!

That's interesting, yes drain the little bottle on the overflow. What year is your bike?

Stop putting to much oil in the bike ... Keep it in the center of the sight glass ..If you keep it at 3/4 in the sight glass it will pump oil into the air box when you run it hard ...

No your are fine , just put the right amount of oil in it and you will be fine ... These bikes are very very tuff , it takes more than a few missed gears to kill one ...
