I had a problem like that on a XTZ 600 - it turned out that a mechanic (I use use the word lighly...!) had overfilled it. So I took the bik eback. Next time I picked it up the whole thing went up in smoke becuase he had just filled the oil tank when it was cold and obvioulsy iver filled it again ! The oil travels up through the breather pipe as it expands under pressure, and on my bike, then entered the carbs and then the cyclider - resulting in ahuge amount of white smike and a road covered in oil !
So. The moral of this story is heed the advice above and check the oil levels are correct.
cheers,
Simon
