Hi,

I've put around 1200 miles on it in the last three months. It used to smoke a little every once in a while in the morning on first start. Now it smokes all the time. Noticed yesterday that the oil level has gone down. When I bought the bike three months ago I had the carbs rebuilt and synced. I changed all the fluids, plugs and just replaced the air filters. Is the crankcase breather part of the hoses that go to the air filters from the front and back of the crank? Also when I shut it down, I hear a plop sound after the engine stops.
