Mines the same ride 50ks stop, oil bottle empty, ride another 50ks still empty. Fill up with fuel still empty ride 5ks home oil bottle overflowing. If the bottle hold 50mls then it puked 100mls.
And I can't see how that's wetsumping/drainback after 100km and if it is why isn't the oil pump pumping it back into the frame. If it's wetsumping/drainback whilst running it's a design fault or a faulty pressure relief valve. (dose it have one)
Don't get me wrong I'M IN FOR THE LONG HAUL and will do anything to sort it out.
I'm thinking of bypassing the bottle and putting the oil over the rear chain like the rest of my British bikes.

I was starting to think my bike was the only one that did this ,
I have removed the the catch bottle and will go back to the old method of plugging the pipe and draining the air box after every ride .
I wouldn't divert to the chain because it will make a bloody mess and oil the chains of the next 10 bikes behind you :lol: :lol:
I have emailed Kevin at Norton and waiting for a reply .
I am thinking about diverting the air box drain back to the air/oil separator so any oil in the air box will end up back into the sump , the oil is clean oil not milky white blow by.
i will keep you posted
cheers
