Tough little pony this 
At Harties today, tried to gear down and my foot is only fanning thin air
Pulled away in 5th and headed home, robots and stopstreets are pure murder, but I finally hit the highway. Bike still runs well, but feels/sounds somewhat different.
Fuel light comes, but I ignore it and carry on until, as Murphy would have it, I run out of fuel coming off the freeway. Push the bike to a Garage, put some fuel in and it does not want to start. Eventually it takes and I limp home still stuck in 5th. Bike smoking out of the exhaust now and sounding erratic.
At home I take it apart and discover the airbox full of oil - difficult to judge but at least 500m comes pouring out, and the airfilter is a oil sogged mess.
Anyone had an airbox full of oil before from labouring the engine in high gear? What is the mechanics behind this, why did the bike do this?
