Well there's always that last job to do and I've found a few of them.

Oil Breather pipe, can someone show me a pic of how they have done thiers, not into a can but into the oil catch tray or alternativly how it's rigged up into a can or bottle.

Cheers

Murray

Cant wait, wont wait.

I did originally run mine into a catch bottle, for oil and breathers etc, but these were never checked at scrutineering - so just run the breather pipe into the bellypan and you'll be fine.

Got to be worth a protest under the DD rules

1.7.10 The following items MUST be altered:

All motorcycles must have a closed breather system. The oil breather line must be connected and discharge into a catch tank.

Where an oil breather pipe is fitted, the outlet must discharge into a catch tank located in an easily accessible position and which must be emptied before the start of a race.



That says catch tank not catch tray

Errrr...dunno....is it that you can't invade Poland with a tray?

[skidlids]

Well the main difference between my oil catch tank and the oil catch tray is the tank still holds the required 500cc when racing in the wet where as a catch tray with its bungs removed does not.
Big difference if somebody has a bike blowing oil out the breather because of worn rings etc and as a safety issue should be tightened up on.
