    To continue monitoring. After long trips at high revs and speed (over 180 km/h) oil continues to leak from the airbox. After each trip (300-400 km) is necessary to add oil to the engine (100-150 grams).
    Who has such a problem?

    That is a lot of oil being puked out of the engine from somewhere in that amount of time. There is definately a problem somewhere.

    Finding the source is easy enough. Thoroughly clean all oil pools and residue of oil in the air box and off all the hoses, and replace the air filter with a new dry filter. With a newly cleaned and dry bike, give it a short but quick high rpm ride around the block. This short ride should just start to show exactly where the oil source is coming from. Then it will be easier to figure out what is wrong and why so much oil is entering the air box and filter area.

    do we need to come up with an XB-style breather mod? Or is that not really relevant here? Other than zviadi finding the source......
