So I went to change my oil as I have done on this particular model bike 5-6 times now... this is my switch to synthetic at 1500 miles and I was wrapping everything up and fired it up and had to burp it as usual. This time when I went to burp it very little oil at all is coming out from around the filter and in fact you can literally take the entire filter off while the bike is running and you will see little more than a very small stream of oil coming out of the bike. I had the bike warmed up decent before the oil change, it drained completely, I filled the new filter up and put it on just like I always do. Any ideas?

The bike has been tilted pretty much all the way to both sides and still no luck. Also tried removing the filler cap for a second and the oil sight glass is pretty much perfect... also the filter still appears to be almost full. bike is an 07 zzr600 with 1500 miles.
