Fuel Overflow Bottle

[thewiz]

1978 GS1000, set up for race, has an overflow bottle under the right side cover. The hose runs from the bottle to the top of the motor (can't exactly see because under tank).



Please explain what this overflow is for and what is indicated if there is actually fuel in the bottle. I have emptied now, but you can see the dark line on the bottle. I saw this set up on the OLDSKOOLSUZUKI site for Wes Cooley's bike.

Thanks, John

its the breather overflow, sometimes oil will come out of the valve cover.

Exactly. When you have pods you loose the tube going back to your air filter box. That hose will puke out this oily, watery stinky stuff, especially if it's cold. I have mine routed under the seat to a little catch cup strapped to the frame, and a K&N crankcase filter on it.
