    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Broken Breather Cover

While going in to do a valve adjustment I saw that my breather cover(?) had a large crack in it. Taking it revealed that it was in two pieces. I have no idea how long it's been like this, like since I got the bike - three months ago.

I'm looking for a replacement now (suggestions?) but in the meantime, how badly would this impact my performance? This compartment vents to the airbox so I suppose this isn't catastrophic but probably not good nonetheless.

Thanks.
 
they all do that sir.....

It's very common - usually it's just a corner broken off. Overtightening and a soft gasket will do it.

As far as i know, all the twins and all the 8 valve fours use the same breather cover.
