oil breather
hello and help all (please)
my 98 xt600e is losing lots of oil thru the breather (out of the airbox overflow).
whenever I ride at higher revs (=/- 4000 revs) for a period of time, I have a squirt of oil coming out - not the odd drop.
Things that have been done to try and rectify this are:
- new piston and ring set
- new oil pump fitted
- opened the crank to clean the oil sieve (wasnt really necessary)
- double, triple and quadriple checked the amount of oil in the bike.
There is no improvement. I am going thru air filters like crazy. I have also removed the airbox cover and with the motor running at high reves (in neutral), one can actually see the oil spraying into the airbox from the breather pipe.
The local official Yamaha mechanic, as well as an ex-yammie mechanic are stumped.
Any new suggestions?
Thanks,
Ernie
