[QUOTE="Gary Gittleson, post: 96020, member: 3625"] Would you care to clarify this? Overfilled? Before this mod, the only way I could stop overflow at the tank was to run with just a bit over one quart (US) in the system. Are you suggesting that my mod dumps excess oil? That's exactly what I have been trying to avoid. That's not safe for the engine. The tank was far from overfilled, yet there was always oil seeping out the breather hole in the cap. That has stopped. If you had read what I stated, you might have noticed that no oil emanates from the breather hose. The system is now completely self contained and the bike is dry. So is the tarmac. But no worries. The tarmac I ride on is three thousand miles from yours. [/QUOTE]
