My question is....does the ratio of oil and the type of oil cause "the drip"?

....or the liberal use of brass?

Just asking out loud!

Thanks
Actually, that's a really good question!
I run my 07 EC250 @ 50:1 MOTUL 800. I seem to be getting more spooge than any of my previous bikes, which I tended to run @ around 42:1 - same oil. I think it is largely related to jetting. I get almost no spooge if I ride all day on open trails where I spend a lot of time on the pipe. Riding slower more technical trails will give me more spooge. Although this sounds ass about face, it kind makes sense to me in that I am running a N1EG needle - I think this needle is a bit rich low down but it gives great pull through the midrange and transitions onto the pipe effortlessly. Does that make sense to you guys ?
