After second hour of breakin, oil alarm. Removed hood and yellow oil cap not screwed in and just lying loose on its side.
80% of enigne drenched in oil, running out below. Electronics dripping with oil. Fortunately no fire. Had to run 5-10 minutes with oil light on, at 1200 rpm, with no alarm sounding. Only lower 2 mm of oil stick registered oil level.
Are there any concerns i should be thinking about? tx.

Yes, first call Yamaha customer service and tell them what happened so they have a record. Then take it back to the dealer so they can clean up that mess. If you develop any problems down the road customer service has a record.
