i was at the quarter mile track on wednesday and when i came back to the lanes after the last pass i saw smoke and smelled oil. i looked and it was dripping on the exhaust a small puddle about the size of tablespoon and the top cylinder head was covered.
so i got it home, ripped the tank and airbox off and turns out i was getting some major blow by through the tube that goes into the airbox from the crank case breather.
bike is a 99 996sps w/ pistal high comp pistons. i also have the STM reed style breather in it. i converted it to a bi-posto so i cant get an undertail oil catch. i am pretty sure the issue is from the high comp pistons.
any suggestions? (besides a coke bottle)
