Oil in clear bottle

searching for information about my issue, i found some sites where they say that brock have this issue with one zx14r..

Yesterday i went to a track, track day, not drag race.
I put about 80 miles in my bike, when i saw the oil in the clear bottle.. It's half full (or half empty LOL)

My bike is a zx14r 2012 with brock's CT Dual, a PCV with brock's street map, and 6000 miles..
Is this a serious problem? I tried to find information about this in the service manual, but i  Couldn't find anything..
Ps: please excuse my english.. 

Regards
Horacio

	Horacio, Hello! By chance is the oil level of your bike over full? Above the full line in the window, when checked as your owners manual suggests? If so, this can cause the overflow bottle to fill up a bit. This is normal, do not be worried. Our bike did fill up the air box to extremes, but it was under load conditions on the dyno (using our dyno brake) that we feel cannot be duplicated on the road or track. It did not cause the bike any harm, in fact... it just recorded it's quickest and fastest time ever in the 1/4 mile last weekend. Brock

	Hi brock, The oil level was fine.. It didn't have more oil than it should have.. I've changed oil last week and cleaned the bottle, so far the bottle Is empty and running fine.. It keeps me a little worried about what happened, but as soon as it don't happen again and the bike runs fine i will have no mercy to it :-) Horacio

	Horacio, A couple more questions: 1. Do you like to wheelie? 2. Do you hit the high limit? Both of these can cause the level in the bottle to increase - which is normal. One more thing, on a new bike more oil in the bottle is normal also... especially if you are being gentle with the break-in and only run it hard once in a while. Please see my suggested break-in procedure here: https://www.brocksperformance.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=933&KW=break%2Din&PID=3902#3902 Brock

	Thank's for your support! 1. I don't wheelie this bike, in it's life just 2 or 3 wheelies, o don't think that should be a problem. 2. Yes, in that trackday when i put something like 80 miles in the bike, i hit the revlimiter a bounch of times, and as i was racing, most of the 80 miles where above 8000rpm ! The bike has something like 6000miles now, i though the break-in was over! I was gentle with it the first 4 or 5 houndred miles, then just normal use, i don't do a lot of track or drag (1 day in the track, and less than 10 drags) but i ride it in nearby routes, always "happy" (above 6000rpm most of the time) Do you think this happened to my bike because it didn't have a proper break-in ? As i told you before, it hasn't happened any more, but i'm sure i didn't load it as hard as in the track that day.. Please excuse any english errors, i'm doing my best. Thanks! Horacio
