Default Breather Assembly upgrade = more puking oil
What gives?! It's worse than before...get it near 3k RPM and spray city. What makes this so bad is that I ride 6 days a week, 90% highway.

Anyone else have this problem?

light on details-

is it oil OR oil and gas mix...smell it.

if there is gas mixed in, you have reversion. which can be tuned out

You talking about the head breather venting oil mist and it's dripping to the outside?

No gas, just the build up from mist that drips and catches the wind and 'sprays' on the oil lady's boot

When you say upgrade breather assembly, are you talking about the internal breathers in the rocker boxes?
