Newbie with Stage 1 question...

Hi Folks,

I had the dealer do a stage 1 for me on my 05 1200r, complete with new SE air filter. Am I likely (or definitely) going to need the breather kit? Heard some horror stories about oil spraying from the air box ??

Thanks

No, the SE air filter kit redirects the breathers directly into the mouth of the carburettor.

The pre '04 Evolution Engines had the problem.

lucky b@stards!!!
its a pain in the arse on my xl53c! as soon as i give it some stick, the oil goes all over the oil tank and i have to clean it again!

I've run mine like that, with the pipes exiting into a small plastic bottle, for the past six years with no problem at all. I also found that the bottle collected very little oil. Probably more to do with EU rules than anything else.
