I've found a split breather pipe !
No surprise really as we all know !
So , do I silicone pipe the whole system or for a catch can ?
If the overwhelming advise is catch can is there a definite answer as to where to vent it ?
I'm getting conflicting answers , some saying to atmosphere others suggesting back into the tip !
Any help appreciated :D
 
I'm fully atmospheric and have been for 2k ish miles and is spot on
 
Why not fit your own oil/air separator on a breather hose ?

If all else fails something like this will do the job,

Then run a small tube to a clean container of your choice, the contents of the container can just go straight back in the oil filler cap,

Over the years I have used various methods of catching the oil vapour in the breather systems.

Or this by VX would work.

When yo say fully atmospheric do you mean no catch tank ?
I've read arguments to venting back to tip as th system needs the vacuum from over run to draw th gunk through the system !!
Seem to remember either prawn or tuffty having issues with VTA ?
