Just make sure he didnt overfill his oil and no matter what there will be a little oil in the airbox the case is vented there. Mine always has a small amount in it

The same thing happened to me when the dealer that I had service the bike overfilled the crankcase. You would think they would have known how much oil it takes being a kawi dealer and all. Needless to say I swiched dealers after that screwed up deal.

When I bought my 650 I had the same problem. The air box was full of oil and blowing smoke. I took it back to the dealer and they found it was overfilled with oil. When checking oil level make sure you screw the dipstick all the way down then back out to check. Have fun.
