HoggyF Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I've just put a newer engine (don't know the age but probably an import as the clocks off it are in KM) into my 85 XT350 but the crankcase breather is different, on the original engine it went straight from the cases up to the airbox, the new engine has a longer breather with a T-piece in it. All the manuals I have or have seen even for the newer bikes show the same breather as my original engine.Anybody know?? I would add a picture but don't seem to be able to do it.

Ferg Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It may be from a TT 350. I think the breather on them went into a tee piece. Hope this helps. Cheers Ferg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI , When i replaced my air box (knackered) with twin K&N filters, i cut the breather tube short and put on a baby filter, No running probs, I did`nt know what else to do with it really, Mark.

Moderator YamaHead Posted November 24, 2008 Moderator Share Posted November 24, 2008 Assuming you still have the original breather tube .......I'd just use that & be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickystuff Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Thats the easy way out! I'm curious and want to know what its for more than anything. Hoggy My TT 350 has this tube fitted as toy describe....one end goes into the airbox, the other is open to atmosphere, it is routed to the right side near the kickstarter & rear brake switch....
