I checked the air filter and it's housing today and found quite a bit of oil. Maybe a thimble full or so coating the inside of the housing. Have I possibly over filled the engine oil ? I thought I filled it to the proper level ...

Entire bike is 100% factory stock ...

... except for Pirelli tires and added saddlebags & GPS.

Thanks for the comment ... PCV valve tends to toss oil into filter box ???

Box and engine. Rerouting it will help save oil and contribute to engine cleanliness. But dont tell the EPA I said so.
