Hello!
I am very new guy here and i need little bit help.
About two weeks ago i bought my first Norton and i've been riding it almost 900km(560miles) and im in love with it and i think its working pretty good.
The thing is that since i am not so familiar with Nortons or other british motorcycles, i been scavenging through the internet to get information and such things to get known with the bike.
The "problem" is the engine breather hose. Where it should go? Should 99 Dommie have almost same oil lines than commando has?
In commando it looks like the breather hose should go back to oil tank.. but in my bike the breather hose is attached to the oil return line with a T-coupling. T-coupling is fitted between rocker feed banjo and junction block.
The thing that makes me wonder is that i have understood that the return line is reduces little bit after the rocker feed banjo, making the oil go easier to rockers. And i am not sure if the breather hose has any valves in it or not, but i am afraid that because of the reduction in return line, scavenge pump would also pump oil wrong way to breather hose back to engine.
If that is correct and should be like that, then its ok and i dont think i will make any changes to it,but it got me wondering..
