I'd invite you to our workshop today but you've probably already got it fixed and i'm just waking up. Pacific ocean ride would be a bitch tho. Wonder if you have seals in your s like the Vespa's? Good luck

OP stickyfrog Moderatus Rana MP3 250 and 2 MP3 500s Joined: UTC Posts: 22664 Location: Nashville, Indiana	UTC quote Yeah it is definitely from the air box. Did not have time to do much with it but I did get the air box cover off and it looks like a modification I did to increase airflow came loose letting a bunch of collected oil out at the same time. Hopefully tomorrow after work I can get everything cleaned up and come up with a fix.

I still have the car tire on my other rim and will probably remount when this one gets in the wear bars as it as it has some miles left.
