QUESTION: Iwould say about a half pint or less and when I noticed it I was doing about 25 if that down a side road. The fastest I had the bike up to before it happened was about 60.It was a cold day about 45 degrees.

Answer
You have a couple of butterfly valves in the rockers to vent air out of the motor durning the downstroke. One of them might have gotten stock open, which would let oil go out the vent. If it happens again or keeps happening, they would have to be changed out.
Good luck and happy riding
