Yes. I've replaced it. Pipe just vents to air, rather than the box. It's transparent so I can see if gung is exiting the crankcase. Nothing so far.

Changed the oil again today. If I turn over the engine with the coolant cap off, it does not sploosh water out. This suggests there is no failure...

New air filter fitted rrecently.crank case hose was a bit ropey. This has been sorted. [ATTACH]

Drained the oil today. The plugs used to foul with black sooty deposits, but not now. Replacing the coil packs has definitely helped. I will see...

New coil packs have made a difference. Bike no longer sooting up a plug so badly it won't start after a run to work and back. But it still seems...

Ok. Had a look at all three plugs today. Interestingly, the most sooty one is now on the left cylinder and the dirtiest is on the right. Previouly...
