Have ridden about 300 wonderful miles since rebuild.A few teething issues arose, nothing major.
Then a rider behind me noticed I was "burning oil" I was.After bike warmed up.
Contacted my build guy.He went over it, and confirmed engine was all good.
Next on list of suspects, had to be crankcase pressure issues.Spec as follows.
CNW/Comstock breather mounted on lower case,returned to oil (central) tank
Holland Norton works Anti wet sump valve.
Return to oil tank via magnafine filter.
Front oil tank breather has spigot, to oil line to catch tank vented to atmosphere.
All via "braided" oil lines.
CNW breather appears to "fart" when kicked over.Checked.
Holland wet sump valve,removed.Checked.
Oil tank drained,Compressed air blown through.Checked.
Front spigot had some evidence of "mayonaise" oil deposits.Mmmm.
Return to tank via "Braided lines" Had kink near top hat.Mmmm.
Catch tank, had light oil deposits,(mayonasse again).Plus filter was blocked .Mmmm.
First job.Remove "rubbish braided lines"Build Mistake no1.These are not quality braided lines.Basically plastic tube covered in stainless steel.
Will be replaced with Aeroquip 3/8th black oil lines.No issues with kinks either.
Run out of hose.Will purchase more next week.Hopefully will cure.......
