Seriously though, This doesn't inspire me to perform any wheelies with the bike doing this. It also smothers my rear brake in oil. Any one know of a fix for this ? Yes I am a squid.> covered under the warranty. > > Russel'r
Not a simple fix. You would need to blank off the crank breather on back of the gearbox case and put a new breather vent on top of the camcover.

Maybe If I routed the tube through the frame on an acute angle so when I am airborn the oil shouldn't leak out ? It's just a breather so it should only be exhaust going through the tube right ?
Pete, I don't like to be negative (is that a double negative?), but I think the commuting, if you have to go through Ouray, will be a little tough in the winter months unless you have an airplane.
