Breather tune
Hey what's up guys, I need some help as I'm not too sure how to fix my problem. After searching other websites, I finally found out that my 2013 ninja 250r is leaking oil from the breather tube and I just wanted tk know how to fix and if I shoulf check out other parts that could have been affected? Thanks!

Sometimes it means too much oil was put in the engine. Sometimes it means the bike fell over and a little oil leaked out the breather. Sometimes it's something worse like worn rings. How many miles on the engine?

My bike has 19.3k miles on it. I had actually put too much oil last time and it did leak but I changed the oil recently and made sure not to overfill this time but I noticed there was oil coming out of there. My filter also so had oil on it so I'm guessing there is some in the airbox but I'm not certain how to clean it |

That doesn't sound like much to worry about. I don't think I'd worry about a little oil in the airbox. It won't hurt anything. It may be possible to remove the air filter and wipe it out, but I don't remember how easily you can get a rag in there.

In the lower left side of the airbox, there is a closed end tube attached to the box. That is the airbox drain. Pull the tube off and oil will come out. Of course put a bowl or rags or something underneath the drain before pulling the tube. Also make sure to reinstall the tube when you are done.
