Just a follow-up to my comment on Craig's bubble-blowing clutch cover. There's a slightly shabby* Raptor 1K on ebay.uk now that apparently has an engine breather connected to that cover, suggesting that excessive crankcase pressure may be an issue on these engines. Anyone come across that?
I've seen this, i spent alot of time google'in TL1000 crankcase pressure & TL1000 Oil breather, some stuff was interesting, but it's hard to sieve through the bullshit.. some say the TL has too much pressure, some say it's a Vtwin and it needs that much, some saying the engine runs free & better with no pressure, but why wouldn't suzuki make it that way anwway? Everyone's got their own opinion, some are right and some are wrong.
Mine? I don't care i just wanted to stop the oil leak
I also Wonder if mine is worth that

(with a bodged front pot exhaust, bad paint, rear fairings missing, corroded front forks, crappy looking engine paint ect ect i could go on for days.
Also, fixed my leak with RTV silicone, left it for 4 days to set, smoking on start up has calmed right down but i'm using the bike daily again.. so maybe its to do with it being stood.
PS. i Joined this group because its the only one i could find
