Yeah, that is too much oil coming out of your Breather Bolts.

Look at the following-

Oil is above the halfway mark on dipstick

Oil is too thin

Double up on the filters in the breather bolts

If none of that works, then it may just be bad luck that you have a Sporty that blows more oil than most....but it could be another issue. Check out the full overview on excessive blow-by at this thread-

update: (sorry ive been moving, just got the interwebs hooked back up) Doubled up on filters. Still getting quite a bit of blow by when the oil is HOT. Oil level is around the halfway mark. Should i try changing to a different oil?

I'd change to a catch can system from DK Customs and be done with it.......

You can try a heavier weight of oil, it may work. But it sounds like you may have a Sporty that blows more oil than most. In that case it would be good to go to a Premium Discrete EBS with a filter or catch can.

See the choices HERE.

I'm running the Premium Discrete on my own Sporty-

Ahh, yours is not bad looking. Thats the biggest thing, I want it to be hidden and clean looking. I dont want to have a bunch of hoses and such all over the place!
