Morning all
As the bikes do not have an enclosed airbox, any excess oil pressure is ejected straight out of the engine which can either result in a fine mist, or if slightly more oil is present, a drip down the engine case.
The best way to check if you have an issue is to clean the engine of any oil, get the engine warm and switch off, then after a minute or so, hols the bike upright on a flat surface and check the oil level window.
Te level must be no more than the upper notch and ideally sit between the upper and lower notches. If it drops below this level then you should top up.
If it is below the bottom notch then top up immediately.
Check this way regularly to ascertain if you are losing any oil.
