Changed out the filter and found about 2 tbsp motor oil in air box.

Bike uses little oil between 4k oil changes.

Any thoughts?

The crankcase vents back into the air box. Oil in airboxes is very common. Put way too much oil in a lot of engines and you will fill the box up. No worry, go ride.

You can install a longer drain tube to capture more of the oil and keep it from sitting in the bottom of the air box.

Or you could cap off the air box and use a longer hose from the head to a separate filter like a lot of dirt bikers have done.
