    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Engine breathers

I am looking for information on engine breathers for the GSX1100.
At present the only breather on my engine is the one off the top of the Cam box cover.
Can this be relocated to the filler above the clutch?
Is there any advantage?
The engine is mildly tuned for road racing.

breather

A simple container out near the battery will do. Run a tube into it and another one out to the ducktale. A deep large one as big as u can will be ok.
 
I had 2 on my bike..One at the valve cover and one at the clutch cover.
 
What is the advantage of more than one breather vent?
 
Big controversial issue..Bottom line is that less built up pressure in the crankcase allows for more hp...not much..2 breathers for a street motor probably isnt needed..

Lets the drawthru turbo drain its oil back into the crankcase. Or gas port and solve the problem. If its a stock street bike, no need.
