Default THERES OIL POURING OUT MY CRANKCASE!

k in the mourning my mojave had showed that it was low. like 1/4 of the looking glass was full not even.i had recently switched to synthetic an thought maby it burnt some so... i added about half a liter wich brought it up to the 3/4 full mark on the looking glass. after riding for and our its pouring out my crankcase breather and ont my leg and the glass was tatally full. what the hell? how am i suposed to know when the oil is full or not. i only rode for about and hour, could things have gone bad. i will have to change the oil though cause it might have foamed right?

It's not likely that you foamed synthetic oil. Half a liter to go half way up the glass sounds like a lot; maybe the oil wasn't flowing into the crankcase right away and you had over-filled it.

strange i took out about half the oil. there was about a biger sized jar full. i put back about 3/4 of the jar and its at the perfect level. i guess that about a cup flowed out onto the engine but it just must have been very little over. not sure. never really had problems with the oil level like this. i guess ill watch it. we were wheelying and hill climbing.
