when i checked the oil it was half full in the sight glass and it was full in the sight glass

 

OK, was it half full or was it full in the sight glass and this should be with the bike on the center stand?

IF the sight glass is full it is overfull and will suck oil back up into breather box. From there it will go wherever it wants. Should only be 1/2 way up on sight glass when upright.

Check air box. Bet its got oil all over inside.

the sight glass was full just below the notch mark on the motor by the sight glass its been that way for the last couple of months i have been keeping a close eye on the oil level but i was wondering if it would just suck oil out even if it was half full ...i plan to do an oil change on it today it is overdue by a couple hundred miles anyway im hoping this is just one of those fluke tings that happens maybe red is telling me she needs the fresh stuff not the old stuff

Check the Air Box....
