Breather filter or T tap

#1

Post by Willy G. »

My bike is running a breather tube through the primary and out the back. The problem is it throws oil everywhere. I'd like to minimise this or eliminate it with a breather filter at the end of the hose or T tap it back to the line that goes to the oil tank. Anyone do either one of these and how does it work for you. Willy

WillyG!

Beware that filters are notorious for collecting dirt and eventually restricting breathing altogether. They do not make oil disappear, just trap it.

Please inspect that your chain-oiler adjusting screw in the pump has a full point upon it, and is completely shut off if you are running a beltdrive.
