not sure about that, I've got to take my tank off sometime this week so I'll look and see but I don't remember anything like that

ORIGINAL: stuntn_r6

thats weird...i've been told all over the place that if i want to start learning slow stuff ( wheelies and stoppies) that i need to re-route the crankcase breather hose from the airbox to the bottom of the bike...becuase in the event that the bike gets tipped more than 90 degrees on its side, oil will get in the airbox and can possibly lock up your motor?
thats correct, you can just run it out the bottom of the bike

that would be a good idea but it wouldn't cause your bike to leak (your bike would smoke like hell though, so it should be pretty obvious if oil is getting into your airbox)

check the case covers for leaks

it's not oil
it's a mix of fuel

It sure as hell looks and feels like oil.

doesnt smell like gas.

leaves a stain like oil.

what kind of mixture are we talking here and why it is coming out of that tube. none of my other friends bikes are doing it.

is it due to the drop?
