850 Sam said:ps. any one know is the breather pipe at the rear of the timing case a press fit or is it screwed in ?
Hi Bob i don't think they are available in the Uk ,either Germany or the Netherlands.Go to" Mikes xs parts" and the links are there(i got mine from Germany 20/4/09 28 euro's).............Cheers AndyBobolink said:Is the XS breather available from any of the regular Norton parts suppliers here in the UK? It gets a lot of good reports & even though my engine does'nt leak much, there is always a bit of oil here & there after a good run.

mcns said:I just installed my xs650 breather yesterday, upgraded from the 80190 motormite,which worked but what a difference when I installed the yamaha one my roll on power is way better espspecially 2nd gear roll on.
I to was thinking of running it very close to the timing chest by cutting hose with only a inch of hose showing and attaching it right there.But someone on this forum mentioned it should be solidly mounted. I would think between the two hoses it might move around a bit but still work.
Has anybody tried this
cheers

These are reed valves from a Honda Camino 50cc moped .
I bought several of those for next to nothing .
I never did anything with them , but I suppose that with a little imagination they could be used on a Norton .
