M8 owners please read.

I was back looking at my pics as well Toddy.
I am also mechanically thick and could not spot the gearbox breather.

I found the Gearbox Breather too Doc - I'm now feeling quite proud of myself :D




PS - Twizz sent me pictures to help me out a bit!

Well lucky you.;) Care to let me in on the secret.
 
Here’s the GB vent on my TC… you should have the same plus the inner Primary one..

Look through from the right had side its located almost to the centre line of the bike poking out the little cover

see my post #96 for a picture in this thread

I’ll take some clearer photos when I’m back in the workshop, although the line drawings Twizz posted up are pretty good….
 
Not wishing to teach anyone to suck eggs, but isn't the key difference that the gearbox breather comes out of the gearbox (the bug lump on the right as sat on the bike) whereas the primary breather comes out of the primary (the big lump on the left as sat on the bike)?

As I no longer have a RKS in the garage to point at and prod, I'll be sure to pay particular attention when I go to the bike show next week
 
You are correct - we have discussions on both running here as the following has happened amongst the M8 crew

Some thought they had a primary vent which was the gear box vent
Some have the primary vent and cannot find the gearbox vent
Some have both
Some are having a bike delivered today and need to check
Some thought they had a vent, it appears on strip down they didn’t

Think that covers it.....

Next Week - Sumping and upgraded oil pumps!!

Please don't as I'm already on tablets after this.;)

Ah, I can rest relatively easy as I've already paid for Doc to have a current version oil pump. Or at least the oil pump that was current at the time. Probably.

Anybody want to buy an Evo RK? Just kidding, it's not for sale. I'm such a tease... :D
