[QUOTE="bmetcalf, post: 163877, member: 792"] You have me thinking about my recent installation of a new Alton. I may not have ridden the bike between that and installing a valve spring cap breather with PCV valve. The breather flowed air well past the upper guide and I could feel strong pulses from the end of the hose when I ran the motor. When I fitted the Alton, I couldn't use my 1/4" closed cell foam donut gasket and get the sprocket centered on the chain and the end of the Alton seemed to fit well against the opening. Anyway, the motor was very oily after a short ride, so I assumed my breather setup wasn't good enough. You have me thinking that I am really losing primary oil. I'll check the level and decide if I need some sort of seal at the Alton end. The PD28 slinger may not be enough. I'll also look in the area of your photo. [/QUOTE]
