I got my Ness Big Sucker from CD and the Direct Parts team today. Opened it up and started reading instructions.

The bike runs great, but when the bike sets up for the winter, some how oil settles in the bottom of the crankcase, when I first turned the engine over after it had not been ridden I blew out a half of quart of oil, out the crankcase breather hose and onto the ground. After the engine ran for a couple of minutes, no oil came out, runs great, the running of the engine must prevent the oil from building up in the crancase, the past couple of days I cranked the bike and...
