"midway full" in the sight glass while the ride is standing upright?

What is the history on this ride? Last valve checks, tensioner, maintenance stuff?
Any other items that you may have noticed while riding the twisties?

supposedly it has been serviced 3000 miles before ibought it but the boy who had the bike was a complete retard i got the bike for really cheap because he had cut some wires and tried to put some headlights in it and screwed it all up so i fixed the bike by putting stock bulbs in it and i also fixed all the wiring problems runs good besides the oil thing hope this helps some

Do you still have the kleen stuff still on? ie smog stuff, reed valves on the covers going to a central hose?

I was just curious. Remove the central hose from the kleen system from the airbox. Plug that. Remove the T and go with a straight hose from both reeds from the covers. Still, would not think that you are getting that much oil from that area though.
