Congrats, OMR! A fantastic score!

Good Fortune!

Would sniff-test and check crankcase oil for fuel contamination.

Am not a fan of the imo useless little filters on the crankcase breather outlet, that may actually impair breathing as it accumulates oil, dirt, water, etc.

Would toss the filter, get the issue corrected, and route a hose from the outlet to exit underneath the bike.

Imo the little added filter is useless and actually impairs vent function which is to exhale freely.

The stock routing into air box provides a slight suction which aids vent function.

Another option is redirecting the vent through a hose exiting underneath the bike or elsewhere.







Good Fortune!

Mine sounds perfect! :woohoo: :laugh:

Am thinking the rear turn signals may interfere with fitment of soft saddlebags placed over the passenger seat.

Could consider relocating the rear turn signals to a bracket fabbed to fit behind the license tag.







The added bracket provides handy additional locations for hooking bungee cords.

For the bike at hand, the added under-tag bracket might allow a bungee cord (or a more stable fixture) to run between it and the upper shock mount to serve as a stand-off. A metal stand-off could be designed and fabricated which might also incorporate attaching to the now unused holes where the turn signals mounted.




Just some possible ideas.

Good Fortune!

V&H on Z1 with DIY bracket and rubber mount.
The bracket extends from the oem frame mount position.

Another option is to route a hose from the crankcase breather whereby it exits underneath the bike.

May use an L shaped rubber elbow that fits snugly onto the vent nipple, with the hose inserted into the elbow and routed to exit underneath the bike.

The o'ring gets old and hard and flattens out, which then starts leaking.
I used an o'ring from Redline with good success....

Mine was doing the same thing.
Am reasonably certain it's the o'ring.

Good Fortune!
