88 that hole is not the breather if you have a good look you find it just goes through the casing and into the open space behind the swingarm. don't ask why or what I have never heard any explanation for it. The breather is almost under the starter motor and you can't even see it till you remove the starter.88KE wrote:Thanks Inge. I just measured the hole which is 6mm (I.d) and the pipe is 6.5 (o.d.). But it looks like without that metal ring the pipe has worked it's way too far into the box and been blocked.
