The problem was the gasket. I spoke with a specialist working on XS for more than 30 years. He said all the usual cylinder base gaskets sold on the market like the Athena that I put in (twice!) never work. So he had made his own gaskets with a special material. I put in one of them, now it´s...

Yes, I checked that. I couldn´t see anything particular. There were tiny scratches, but very tiny, I imagine that´s why there is the paper gasket to put in. I also put a very thin layer of liquid sealant on the gasket. - changed the gasket because it was leaking on the left side. Now it´s...

Other question: does the correct function of the reed valve depend on the length of the hose (valve to breather exit)? Thanks.

Hello again finally I changed the cylinder foot gasket (and head). Unfortunately it´s still sweating a bit on the foot, especially on the right side (before it was the left side leaking), leaving a tiny stream. Can that happen at the beginning? Will it go away? I think in general I did a good...

Finally I installed the valve, under the carburettors, plugged the second exit, and it seemed to work, but unfortunately after about 50km again oil leaking... I guess I´ll have to change the cylinder food gasket.

I know, thanks, but still no room there for the valve. Either I run a hose down and set the valve under the carburettor or I adjust the breather exit, cut the Y off and put a hose barb there

impossible to fix it with the 2-V-exit, no space, maybe underneath the carburettors, now trying to find the right hose, or transform the V into 1 exit...

Thanks! Today I´ll fix it.

Hi again finally I got the ventilation valve, the cheaper one. articxs: did you fix it only on that one borehole opposite the IN-tube? Where? There are two more holes next to the OUT-tube (see arrow), and I asked myself what for... Thanks

Now I understand, thanks for the patience!

My stock breather has two hoses... Sorry, don´t get it...

Where do you install that ventilation valve? Sorry, I´m not an expert, never heard of that. Thanks a lot!

I undid the bolts on the head for moving the bearings, so the torque is ok. I searched for "power brake booster" and did some reading, but don´t understand how it could solve the leaking problem....

It worked on the right side, I could move the bearing, but not on the left side. I didn´t want to use too much force. In the end I put in a second paper gasket, now it seems to work. No oil leaking. Still leaking a bit at the cylinder foot on the left side, I guess the gasket is not 100%...

Thanks. That´s what I was thinking to do, but not being sure. I think I´ll try that.
