not much point in it unless you fitting a oil catch tank.

I never knew how much oil came up that pipe untill last weekend in the ring..... didn't have a breather filter on the tank, just left it open (didn't think any would spill out lol) guess it's the pressure in it.

Anyway what I mean with just a breather filter on it instead of the pipe going back into the air filter it will just let oil go over the engine once the filter gets full of oil. Reminds me, I need to order one lol

Wonder if you could help me Dave. Ive just got myself a catch tank to try and get rid of the oil I get in my airbox. I have 2 bits on it for connecting hoses. Would I be right in thinking that I connect the crankcase breather to the catch tank, then a hose from the catch tank to the airbox?

Well after seeing the oil that comes out of the tank as well.... u better off fitting a hose from the crankcase breather to the tank and then a oil breather filter on the tank and blank off the hole on the air box.

My catch tank came with the oil breather for the top of the tank. I may just do that and blank off the airbox hole. Im just trying to eliminate the oil I get in my airbox as I have just cleaned my air filter again.

I used a dump valve blank to block of the oil breather hole on the hose (I know the ABF is different but an idea for you)
