oil leaks from air box

bahamaspete · 05-02-2004

Hey, Onewheelers
Does anyone here have a problem with oil leaking from their air box when wheelieing.
Whenever I wheelie my bike at balance point for a while she leaks oil from the air box.
My guess for why this is happening is that, when the bike get high enough the crankcase vent tube on the rear of the engine allows oil to flow into the airbox. This oil then drains down through a hose at the bottom of the airbox.
Has anyone had this problem before and if so, how did you correct it????
