[QUOTE="tjcassar, post: 16513, member: 1916"] John, I see so I can get this thing from the VOC??if so would you kindly give me details. Sorry to be a pest!! Re oil, Have taken on board your suggestion especially re availability abroad. I usually take some oil with me to cover the trip so this is normally not an issue. However at the rate of 1/2 a ltr daily being blown out of the breather, it does become a problem as how much oil can one pack. Obviously, the answer is to solve this issue. A bood breather valve will help. My breather pipe is a straight through bunjo bolt attached to the crank case just above my distributor. Is this supposed to be so?? or should the breather have some sort of non return ball valve as is the case on some other British bikes? Mine is straight through with nothing to close the air plus dust!! going in when the pistons are on the upward travel. I find this rather odd. So would like to know if I hasve the right part fitted. Thank you once again. Tony [/QUOTE]
