Gunk in airbox - because of to much oil?
 
Hi All

Made a bit of a school boy error the other day. Checked my oil level in my speed triple just as I was leaving for work and found it really needed topped up, in my haste I overfilled it.
I have drained the excess oil but I am now worried that damage is already done. The attached pics are from inside the air box, can someone tell me what the gunk is in the corner and what damage may have been done.


Ok pic attchment didn't work will put them on photobucket then on here.

cant see any pics but normally theres nothing to worry about. all my bikes have done that inside the airbox. its just the engine breather.

will be fine, clean it up, make sure level is ok
from what Rictus has said, S3s tend to just blow excess oil into the airbox without any problems

So the yellow ish gunk in the corner is just excess oil being pushed up?

That yellow crap is oil mixed with any moisture.

Just do what TSM said
