    Just noticed that i have quite a lot of oil coming from my selector rod, so i guess the oil seal has bust!!! Funny though as i just had the bike dynoed as well??

    I would say you are right, it must have built up back pressure, is your breather tube blocked or obstructed?

    Did they block the crank breather in mistake for the pair system air intake?

    Did who? It started leaking after i had the bike dynoed, apperantly tehy do fail on track days given the high revs so it is quite common.

    See the little logo on the support mate, thats Gilles, and they make the shift support you image shows.. Back to the seal myself I have not seen any problem with them I asked about the PAIR system as it has been known that the dyno bod blocked the wrong hose at the airbox, one is the crank breather the other is the PAIR/SAS system... An easy mistake IF someone was new maybe..? No big deal and you have it sorted.. :)


    EDIT JUST SEEN MY POST IS A PAGE LATE....lol
