Doing some maintenance on the bike and I noticed oil in the bottom of airbox. I also found out that the rt side airbox cover was not fastned down all the way which I think was causing me to have those deceleration pops. See Pic's

My guess is you been spinning up the puppy is one way of getting the oil there. The other is a touch over level, the pressure is that balanced, it's going to relieve itself up at that air box.

Pop? Unless you heard both under the tank and out the pipe, those may be loose, but they need to come way out before it begins to what? It's won't lean out. It won't be under any effect under throttle. The pressure out the air cleaner, plus inside the chamber, and now has force to push the lid? My guess is no. It's just loose but those screws should have backed out bye now or the [loosest] one?

Plus, I don't see the foam blown out around the service plate? It's more up the screw threads/heads out the plate, is blown back on the frame. Also, you didn't mention damage to the foam. I assume it's more soaked all around, than blowing out an oil trail.

I do that old motocross kiss with the grease around the filter opening? So I lay a bead of lith grease around the foam so that more seals it than the dry bare foam itself.

And one more thing. Those 6mm frame inserts will spin, you try to torque them down, rather you feel enough is enough. It won't take much as you felt (remembering) taking them off.

+1 on spinning her up, I have two friends with the new 2012 & 2013yr model zx-14's and I'm always reading there license plate! lol I can assure you that oil is not from over filling, I keep it a few mm below the full line on the sight gauge.

That's a good suggestion on using the lithiumm grease, I'll try that.

PS I don't know to make the quotes gadget work on here?

Nasty schooled me on this one. Look where is says Body:

See the brackets with the letters in them or the short coded letters for image and bold? Stick with those 2 so we can keystroke it both ways. First rule is look at how there are no spaces between the ... dots. The brackets are against the dots. No matter the address, no matter the quote, corral the line with the brackets.

See the forward slash in the right brackets? This means, 'end here.' Open is the left bracket without a slash. Rule number 2, always have your forward slash in the closing bracket or your quote/address/photo will not work. All you'll see is your bracket mistake and the whole address is shown. Simple mistake I know.

See the first bracket display for bold? Hold down ctrl and click B. This is a quick an dirty way of popping up an instant bracket. Remove the code letters and change it to the codes you want. So in this case, we change the B to Nasty's shortcut is just type Q in the brackets. This means q for 'quote.' You can use low cap as shown. You can cap the letters. As long as they remain in coded sequence, the HTML knows both cap, low, and mix, meaning, we can type it as img or IMG or Img.

See this so far? So the other step is to hold ctrl and click I for image. It's for italics, but you used a shortcut and now i is img you type in those extra letters into the brackets. So say you looked at some photo on the screen, you right click on the photo. A pop up happens and there are a few selections. You want to click, 'show me the image' which you'll have to figure out once you see the popup and the drilldown menu. Up at the address bar, the addy beings http and ends with jpg. That jpg at the end of the address says you chose the right drilldown.

See that? Next is to take your courser and hold it over the addy bar. Click on it and it turns blue. Leave it in blue, and don't move the courser. Now hold ctrl and click on the letter C for copy. Meanwhile, your i for image has the brackets butted up against each other is what you should be looking at. You typed in the letters for image. You have a copy of a photo ready to set the courser back in between the brackets. You hold ctrl and click V into the image brackets and you now have both tricks as a single letter bracket, or a letter already made so there are less strokes to build the brackets and enter code letters.

See, bank, I know you know how to place a photo. I'm just adding more as if someone did not know how to play with the brackets and learn/figure out how easy the keystroke combinations are. And to see how the brackets play out, click on RSS at the top of the home menu bar. That shows you how the brackets are set and the codes used.
