Re: why is oil coing out over flow pipe?
are you shure it's oil? seems stupid but once I got coolant leak from overflow pipe, and I mistaken it for oil on the pavement and was confused until I saw from what pipe it went out...

alright since you are not gonna answer how much extra oil you are putting in your bike i will just assume you are putting in too much .....
just fill it a little past the top of the sight glass when the bike is up straight on level ground and this problem should go away

if it's below the top of the site glass and your still getting oil in your air box then you might have some serious blow by because f4i's don't usually have this problem....
or may be it was oil in the air box from over filling it in the past if so clean out your air box and set your oil level at the top of the window and if that doesn't stop the problem then you have blow by [worn out piston rings]

f4is are kinda known for flooding the oil box when they fall on the left side for to long.. which is why they hydro lock up.. so if ya dropped it, it probly filled up that way..
