BritTwit said:I don't think mechanics suspect tranny pressure as the underlying cause for the problem on the 961 due to the fact that most modern engines are wet sump units. Where the crankcase breather vents the entire case internals, and there is no separate gearbox cavity to build up pressure. Maintenance folks on these bikes need to understand this. It's great to have a solution to the problem though. I haven't had this issue on my CR but I will be buying the tranny vent as insurance.
Agreed , This vent IS NEEDED , whether you leak yet or not . My bike developed the under starter oil puddle within the first 200 miles . Its been Leak free ever since the Vent . But Frankly I've been saying this all along and some took the advice and some didn't . So lets move on to gearing changes , hand grips and throttle wheelies ... And what tires to run for sport touring , emphasis on touring for me. We have a lot of long straight roads out here. Thanks.
