    dgsxer! glad to have you back!!! you had us all really worried. i am hoping it is some residual side effect from an oil overfill that i did for the first repair on the bike. i changed the oil and over filled it. oil was coming out of EVERYWHERE. i drained it back to the right level, but i haven't run it for more than a total of 20 minutes since then....i am going to pull the box and check the condition of the filter and work my way backwards from there, but i am guessing i am going to have to go through the entire system....we will take it one step at a time and see what we end up with, i guess....

      Oil in the airbox could just be from over-filling and puking out the breather tube. Oil should be checked on the center stand, not the kick stand. How did you check yours, 1st?

      Then he reads the previous post. Sorry for the redundancy.

      DGXSER and I are both over here in Cincinnati (more or less), along with several other XSives. We have a local social group - SWOXS on your radio dial - or in the user CP as the case may be. One of our SWOXS's is right there in Indy, although he recently had his house and bikes burn. Anyway, check out the social group page - we're always looking for more SWOXSi.

        Thanks 1st. I am not traveling for a while like I was so I will not be in your backyard anytime soon. Heck, not even back to work yet. This is going to drive me insane before I get back. (Yeah I know, not that far of a drive is it)

        Happy to help whenever I can. I still got all this good stuff the other knowledgable folks here shared and I crammed up in my head that I can pull back out when needed. Along with all the BS I get to throw in now and then to.
        Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

        When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
