Wow, that doe's not sound good. Maybe a cracked piston ring, not a mechanic but maybe small enough to not notice now but will get worse. I have an 07 800, only 1100 mile's so far so good. How much oil in airbox, enough you have to drain or just hit with a cloth?

Just enough to wipe out with cloth. But I have noticed if it is running with lid off of air box the hose that comes from valve cover is blowing out a lot of air
