Default Oil Probs w/ YFZ450 HELP!

I put exactly 2.5 quarts of oil into engine case. No oil will travel into resevoir. Motor builds up too much pressure and blows oil out the over flow hoses into airbox. I've drained the oil and refilled. I've tried to blow out the return hose thinking it might be plugged up. Nothing works!! What else could I try? Has this happened to anyone else out there? Please respond ASAP. Big race Sunday!!!

Thanks!

Oh buddy! You're sa'post to fill the case with only a little bit of oil and the rest goes into the reservoir. Read your user manual, it states exatcally how much to put in the case. Also if your not replacing the oil filter you don't need to drain the case. Good luck!

I drained all the oil out of the motor and resevoir. Refilled resevoir with exactly 1.55 liters of oil and filled the engine with exactly .20 liters of oil. Exactly what the owner's manual said. Started up, let idle for 20min, shut it down and still could not get oil to show up on the dip stick in the resevoir. What next?
