Default oil bath!!

While riding I found that the underside of my tank cover, and top of valae cover is coversed in oil. Started iit up and no oil coming out of crankcase breather, also oil tank is full. Just had an oil change is it possible it was a little overful? Runs great, with no real blow by coming out of the breather hose, although ther was definelty oil coming out of there some time.

PLEASE HELP,
thanks JOHN

You have a small diameter rubber hose that comes from the top of the valve cover. Make sure that it is in place, or it could be the cause of your oily mess.

It seems that it was in fact overfull. It was just a tad over the top notch. I took it down to halfway between the notches and rode today for 60+ miles with no mess!!! THANK GOD

Thanks for all your help,
