dont do wheelie's it is most likely the over fill tube

Where the air filter "should be"? Get an air filter on there so you don't suck damaging grit in your engine. And yes, check oil level.:thumbsup:

i run an air filter i just took it off when i say oil dripping then i rode the bike around and did a wheelie and oil came out then i put her back on the ground and she is fine. and yes i check my oil level all the time. so no one has any ideas what about a new carb. and just out of curiocity(spelled tat rong) why is this happening

The engine is not meant to be run upside down. Or completely sideways.

Hey Wolfgang

Its not the carb. Does the engine smoke?

Yeah,the oil is probably coming out the vent on the valve cover and getting up into the air cleaner. There's no way the oil could be coming out of the carb.

no the engine does not smoke
