    Default Air Intake box question--oil

    All, I've attached pics of my air intake. I noticed oil drips on the lower right side panel so started pulling panels of to see whats what. Is this normal?

    thanks

    Is if your the type of person that likes to keep the oil at the top of the dip stick, it is!!

    I did put oil in, after warming it up and seeing that the oil was at the add oil part of the dipstick. I did not put a large amount in. Checked multiple times during process. Did not take to max line.

    Looks like over filling the oil tank. Look at your manual for checking oil level. Do not check & fill oil when cold.

    When I changed out my spark plugs (2014 RT SE6) there was probably a tablespoon worth of oil in the intake areas.

    Oil leaking out of the air boxes was a common problem on all the V twins...Do a search here on the forum...There are several fixes...Bajaron, a sponsor here had one of the better fixes...He may sell it in his store??? larryd
