Hey guys and gals, I'm posting this on behalf of my father who owns a 2014 961 sport.
About a year ago he learned of the issue the hard way. Under hard braking, oil sloshed into the airbox and into the engine causing quite a bit to be ingested by the engine producing a large cloud if white smoke.
He turned the bike over to the dealer, but only rode it for about 100 miles since it came back from servicing. He was told to keep the oil barely visible on the dip stick, however the service department never told him of the oil drain pipe in the airbox. Leading up to yesterday...
I rode the Commando yesterday, and had the same thing happen again. Hard braking, engine quit, tons of smoke when I started it, and it rode home fine.
I figured out what the issue was, drained the oil out, etc... However the filter was just soaked in oil. I'm having a hell of a time finding a replacement filter element. Does anyone have one they can recommend? Or, if push comes to shove, a way I can clean the filter out and return it to service?
Thanks guys! It's an interesting quirk, but one that I'm sure can be figured out.
