    Ducati oil breather valves

    hi just wondering if anyone has had problems with the breather valve letting oil pump thru the breather pipes and fill there airbox before as i just struck this problem myself in the weekend
    the smoke coming out the exaust would have put the kingston flyer to shame?

    Hi,

    On my 998, and before that, the 996, I would always find some oil in the airbox. Not liters, but a teaspoon or so.
    High revs, high oil level in engine and wheelies are said to contribute to oil coming up the airbox.

    I haven't had the bike smoking because of oil though. Maybe I need to ride it harder?

    when you own a gutles st2 you have to ride it hard no choice

    i will be modifying the breather system some what by adding a breather canister and raising the hight of breather pipe into tail section
