I noticed oil coming out of the air intake and air filter is soaked with oil. This is my first bike, and I don’t know much about motorcycles. Some help please!

perhaps overfilled primary (too much installed during primary oil change and/or leaking crankseal) and/or crimped engine vent hose.

search knowledge vault, as there are likely posts pertaining to your problem

Overfilled primary (transmission) is unlikely to cause excess oil in airbox.

Overfilled engine oil however is likely to do so. Check engine oil immediately upon shutdown. If it is above the low mark, then leave it. If below, then add only enough to bring level midway between low and full marks.

Follow instructions in owners manual.
