Re: [ST] Oil overflow was Oil overflow (takes 2) and crankcase breather seal



Sorry I can't answer the oil level centerstand/off centerstand question, but I
would definitely pull your air filter after a couple of days and check to see
if you are still pulling in oil.  If yes then you have the bad centrifugal
breather valve and it should probably be replaced.
