This is not a flame, but is anyone having issues with gas in their oil on their 2013 Honda 450 ? I'm getting at least a few ounces of gas in my oil after every ride. My motor is now gone after only a few hours (4) on the bike because the gas diluted the oil, wore the bearings. I even noticed the gas caused the rubber seals to expand.

I never had any problems other than the bike being hard to start. I change my oil about every 1.5 hrs though. That comes out to every 2 rides for me. Some guys on thumpertalk say they have been dealing with it for a few years with no big issues. Sorry your bike only lasted 4 hours.
Like mentioned above, i have heard of old CRF's leaking fuel from the injector after it has been turned off, something to do with residual line pressure is what i heard, and it was supposed to be reasonably minimal. But to have it let go after 4 hours, something more than a little weeping seems to be occuring here.
Edit: Just found a gas station about 3 miles from my house that sells ethanol free gas. Thank you for link above.
