I did some reading about the "dumping" issue with these new M8 motors and it doesn't seem like the MoCo is really concerned about it.

It would be a great addition to the family
I heard about it, but never looked into it. Is it getting to be a reliability issue? More of a mess issue. They call that Nostalgia.

Yeppir. There's a guy here who says he has the fix. Click on the little blue arrow and it will take you to the thread and posts.
I finally installed the sealed side cover on my M8’s transmission tonight. It looks the bike came with it.
The last picture shows where I put the vent hole for the primary. Now to see if my theory is correct. By the time Steve Cole and I test six or seven cams in this bike it should be evident that it’s working or failing.

So, let me get this straight.
Oil is seeping to the primary from the tranny. Moto is not worried about it. But if you don't put the exact amount of oil (i.e. too much) in the primary you have a hard time finding neutral and shifting issues.
Ok...
