Oil leaking from the dip stick cap

Hi all

Couldn't find a suitable category so admins feel free to move this post 😄
I went for my first motorway ride and had the throttle pinned wide open for a few mins.
As soon as I slowed down and came off the motorway I noticed oil bubbling out the filler cap and spraying all over forks and me!
I had checked oil level and water level before he ride and never seen this before on other bikes I have owned

Any idea what caused this?
I will probably do an oil change and filter change anyway but am concerned that something bigger is up with this bike I just bought.....

TIA

prob the motor wasn't run for a few mins to clear the crank case
when the last oil change was done..
Or the full throttle run let the scavinge pump clear the case
more than normal...

either way I think there is a issue with anything...

I am not an expert. Just an idea, have you checked the o-ring on the dipstick?
