    Hi Guys. 1st post and not a good one unfortunately, 2023 Fatbob, went to leave on a 1200klm ride on Friday morning within 20klm all of my oil and i mean all, had been pushed into my air filter. White smoke been burnt and out exhaust, oil flowing out air filter like a waterfall. Only 7000k's on bike and stage 2 install done around 1000k's ago. No loss of power leading up to this and no strange noises. Any Ideas or opinions please.

    I would hazard a guess that you have had your crankcase fill with oil ( sumping) in a major way .
    Can only suspect incorrect oil pump/Camplate fitment from whoever was in there last for the upgrade .
    I suspect you would have been on the phone to them already this morning !!

    Yeah on the phone Saturday morning and will be again shortly. He was a bit stumped and was going to speak to mates in the business today and I'd call back after. In 2 minds bike is still under factory warranty but if cam install is the problem maybe performce shop needs to look 1st. Not sure which way to go atm.
