Re: Oil found in the air box
No, that's ok, so long as it's only a little, a dribble, it's perfectly normal.

Re: Oil found in the air box
yes that's fine as long as its only a small amount, the oil breather is at the bottom of the air box and sometimes it blows up in to the air box.
I would be more worried if there wasn't any! |

Re: Oil found in the air box
Make sure you don't OVER FILL the crankcase with oil, it will blow it into the airbox if you do.

Re: Oil found in the air box
As others have said, small amount of oil is fine. How much oil is in there? oil vapours condense in the airbox, i have some oil sitting in there

Re: Oil found in the air box
There is a noticeable mist of oil comes out of the breathers on full chat. Makes quite an oily mess of things too.
As I realised when my bike was on the dyno and didn't have them connected! Druid
