Ok to cap this line?

speirmoor · Jun 17, 2011

This oil line in my bike (# 32 in the pic) was rerouted downward and exits under the frame. Leaves a small quarter sized oil after the engine has been running and I'm getting tired of cleaning it up.Its ok to cap this right?

Isn't number 32 the breather?
I wouldn't cap it off if it's the breather.

If it’s the line that comes off the back of the oil tank and goes to the chain oiler then yes I capped it off it just causes a mess. I used one of these EPDM caps simple solution, in fact so simple it was originally Swooshdave’s idea :mrgreen: !! I think he had used vacuum caps from Napa.

oh yeah, i was looking at it wrong.... 32 just buy a little filter or run to your carb filter, length of the line doesn't matter- you can ditch 34,36,37,38,39,40

In fact I have a few extras if someone wants one.
