Thanks Pete, 100% agree and had arrived at the same conclusion, it’s the only way the parts make any sense, think we have to remember why it all exists, only an attempt at cleaner running to meet the environment regs of the time, ‘old’ bikes don’t have the same complexity in terms of breathers. I think doing this and being mindful of not overfilling the oil tank is the way forward, just don’t like a system that recycles all the crap that should be vented, also make a bit of space under the seat!!!! Many vintage racing bikes just vent into a tin can to keep any oil off the track with the advantage you can monitor what is coming out of the breather as it would actually be accessible!!! Thanks chaps!!
