    In my last Post I mentioned that oil was spewing out all over my rear tire from my breather hose.... I was told to put a small pod on the end and rout it up in between my carbs. That works..... For about 10 min:( I'm starting to think that the best option is to revert back to the stock airbox?? Will that fix my oil problem for good?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    I didn't read your other post so I don't know what you've done or what has been suggested...but it sounds like you have too much oil in the crank case, either by putting too much in or fuel getting in there. Putting the air box back in will just start filling the air box with oil. Put you bike on the center stand (or have someone hold it up strait) let it sit for a few min and look at the oil level sight glass to see if you have too much oil. You should see a bubble at the top of the glass.

    The only problem there is that the glass is too foggy to tell, but what your saying is if there is too much oil it will eventually stop once it's at the right oil level?

    Maybe the rings are worn & the crankcase is getting pressurized.

    Drain your oil and measure how much comes out.
    DON'T use the wife/ GF's measuring cups.....just don't.

    You'll have to dump the oil and start fresh (fill so you can see the level on the sight glass.

    Have you wet set your carb floats yet? How's the compression? How many miles on it?

    I don't know how to set the floats or check the compression, and it has about 30,000 miles on it
