Posted November 23, 200816 yr 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.
November 24, 200816 yr It may be from a TT 350. I think the breather on them went into a tee piece. Hope this helps. Cheers Ferg.

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.

November 24, 200816 yr Moderator Assuming you still have the original breather tube .......I'd just use that & be done with it.

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....
