I have a 2005 Vendetta with 6000 miles on it.
Oil is leaking out of the lower crankcase breather pretty heavily. It seems to do it more when I am on the highway in 5th and 6th gear.

I have:
1. Changed the oil and filter, making sure to use an EVO filter and leave the oil level 1 to 1 1/2 inch below the top.

2. Changed the lower crankcase breather.

3. Installed a longer hose with a half loop in it. Old hose was straighline (almost) from the lower crankcase.

Other than the weeping the bike runs great, and since it is white with tribal graphics, the oil really shows.

Please help, this is driving me nuts!

Thanks,

There is a spring loaded check ball in the motor case at the oil return line. These can get stuck open and case the motor to puke oil into the breather.

If I unscrew the line will I be able to unstick it? There are three lines coming from the oil bag, see pic, which one is it far right, middle or left?
