Final drive breather

[GrinningGSer]

I couldn't see it, so thought that I didn't have one and assumed it had been deleted
(Early 1200's have no breather and furthermore no final drive drain plug)
The 2011 breather is very easy to see:

The 2013/2014 is there but its very difficult to find till you know where to look. Just letting y'all know.
Go try and find it

Help required

Just removed the coal scuttle and was washing the final drive when a rubber thing bounced out of my cloth and onto the
floor. It looks the breather but can i find where it lives.

Please help my knees are hurting looking for its home.

Thanks

Good game isn't it It is there, just very difficult to see.

What type of breather is it? Goretex? One way valve to relieve high internal pressure? A hole to let water in?

Ok here you are

Cheers for that. Now to try and get it in.

Ok, so now I know where it is, what do I do with this "invaluable" piece of knowledge? Will it make my bike faster or improve the gear change?
