Recently my 300ex has been blowing oil out the vent tube. I was told the rings were probably wore out. So i replaced the rings, and i was riding around the yard and I looked down and saw oil coming out of that vent tube AGAIN. I dont know what to do anymore. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks. Bubba

does this bike have a vent tube to the intake? if so check it for a blockage all i can think of

Was the lower end of the motor tore down before it started blowing oil? Its common when putting the 2 main cases back together that the gasket slips out of place and blocks an oil passageway making pressure. If not you probably overfilled the motor with oil.

My 400ex did that when I over filled it with oil. If you're riding slow and the motor is over heating oil could come out of the vent tube correct?
