I need some help!!! We just got a Polaris 500 Predator yesterday, and today it started missing really bad, and there was a significant amount of oil in the air filter box. No smoke is coming out of the exhaust. Please help as to what you think it might be!!!

Re: I need some help!!! My first thought was rings but if it's not smoking or blowing oil out the exhaust. I'm stumped.

Re: I need some help!!! Hey guys, sorry it took so long to respond. It was a stock filter, but now we have a K&N. The oil in the airbox was because the motor oil was over full, and the overflow tube goes to the airbox. Thanks for all the comments anyway!

I need some help!!! 
We ran it without it for a few minutes up the road without the air filter, and it ran like a scalded dog, which is more like it.
