Ey dude's

Just wondering, i donno but ive heard somewhere b4, probley on fmxaustralia.com, that if a overflow tube, im actully talking about the thicker black pipe that runs off ya head of ya bike, its blowing air and thin smoke out of there. When its warm the smoke stops but air is still coming out. a fair bit too!!

Anyway ive heard b4 that it could mean my bottom end might need a re-build??

Please tell me im wrong, for my wallets sake...

Yes, that would be me who enlightend you.

Not the hose off your barrell, it's the hose that comes off the back of the crankcase under the carby. And if that is blowing air when your bike is warmed up, or sucking air, you have blown a crank case seal. Which then means your gearbox/clutch oil, will be everywhere in your bike.

That thick black hose coming off your barrell, is just an excess oil tube. Any unburnt oil will drip out, or blow a bit of smoke. Sometimes when you wash your bike, water may come out of it, which is alright.
