Changed oil and filter to mobile 1 synthetic, and about an hour into the ride it actually filled the aircleaner up enough to have oil getting into the carb and blowing out smoke from the exhaust. Double checked the oil lever before riding to make sure.......Maybe climbed too steep terrain, but it has never happened before.

your oil needs to have the jaso/ma requirements listed on it.
