Scrambler 500 / Oil In Air Box

[motorhead]

[font=Arial][font=Arial][font=Arial]found about a half pint of engine oil in the bottom of my scrammys airbox? is this normal blow by for these pieces of junk? its a 2003 with maybe 200 miles on it.

<_< I have a Honda and don't have trouble like that, but I would say that is not normal

Oil can appear in the airbox if the machine was layed over on it's side or if the engine was overfilled with oil. The oil likely got there by way of the crankcase vent.

Hondas are not exempt from problems and I'm not sure why anyone feels it's necessary to suggest otherwise.

I've had oil in my air box also after rolls and it ends up on it's side. I extended my drain hose from the box to be able to remove the plug on the trail. No big deal to get the oil in there. Just check the fluid level after a roll. Oh ya... and replace broken parts..hehe also maybe a trip to the emergency room...I've been there too many times...lol
