i have a 2007 450er and i race motocross and ive been having issues after a race with a ton of oil ending up in my air box. its coming out of the crankcase breather tube but i dont know why. i have an athena 490 kit with the athena low comp. piston and a hotrods stroker crank and a stage three hot cams cam. has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? the motor runs fine i just cheack the oil after every ride and make sure its at the right level and i do not over fill it because i have heard that could cause it.

Do you have the two vent lines separated so that you are sure it couldn't be coming from the valve cover vent?

I'd check for bad rings...or a cracked piston.
