where'd ya get that one hotlap?

i had the same issue after my first 350 mile ride. i never had that problem before then after under 100 mile rides. It was not a ton of oil, just some small spraying. keep up posted. i might take mine apart and locktite and re-tourqe just to be sure.

I got mine from NRHS, it is sold seperatly and required for installation of the Hurricane Flow but will work with anything.
It's on this page, breather kit part # 66-2110-0316 $29.95 http://www.nrhsperformance.com/partshurricaneflow.shtml
It came with a rubber breather tube but I got a short length of braided stainless tubing from a local race shop, you can just see it running down by the rear jug in the attached pic.

same thing happened w/ the heavy breather i had but not nearly as much. that kit is pretty sweet hotlap, i'm gonna look into that. anyone know if you can clean the big sucker with the K&N recharge kit? i imagine you could just wanted to be sure.

took the ole turkey baster and sucked out a few ounces of oil and got it just above the low/add mark and took it for a spin. pulled over and checked the oil level after 10 or so miles and it was a little below half way between the marks.

seems ok, not leaking any oil from the filter at all. i also cranked down the banjo bolts as they were a bit loose so we'll see. i have to find my instructions for the right torque spec on those (does anyone know?). think i'm gonna invest in one of those breather kits too.

i guess i learned the hard way not to run too much oil in the sporty but i thought i was doing a good thing by adding when it looked a bit low, fuhk! THANKS everyone!

Yes you can clean it with the K&N recharge kit.
