I just took my airbox cover off to have a look and I noticed the the crankcase vent tube on the left burped a little oil onto the air filter and the intake funnel. Bike has a little over 100 miles on it. I am following the break in procedure although it is difficult. WTF!

Just seems like getting oil into the intake would be a bad thing.

You could buy a catch can and totaly eliminate it. It would keep those vapors/sludge from polluting you intake.

One more thing is sometimes when I blip the throttle from idle the engine seems to hiccup or miss. It has done this with the engine just warmed up and with the engine fully warmed up during a ride.

Sportsters did the same thing, at least my 2000 did. There are a number of "drainage kits" sold for the sportys, not sure about the buells.

Perfectly normal especially since your rings aren't fully seated yet.

Even after that you can have some nasty stuff end up in your airbox and intake if
you don't install a catchcan for your crank case vents. You can find a nice cnc
machined model at kdfab.com, or at American Sport Bike.






The other way is to make your own out of tubing, and a small K&N type filter. If
you do a search i'm sure you can find instructions to build one of these.

It is a polution thing recirculating the natural internal combustion engine oil blow-by back into the engine, instead of of beltching it into the enviernment.
