do you need a breather pipe on it? I think mines an F23, when you start throwing it round corners the oil can leak out of the breather hole on the top/side

Ah it might be different to the gearbox on mine then. Its known on the VX that the breather is sort of on the side of the box so when you go round a corner the oil can leak over the NS rear wheel. Just a case of sticking half a meter of pipe over the breather and running it straight up.

useful comments...

again - the fuel setup should be boxed or fire walled.

Oil cooler - you have one dont you?

Brake pads.... might be an idea to give it a spirtited road run before to see how the pads cope. Nothing worse than going all the way to find out that the pads cant take any heat at all.

Brake Fluid - give it a cursory bleed.

Oil - What oil do you use? How does it cope with heat?

Not to get on track (for trackday).... but it would never pass scruitineering (not that you need to but just giving an example)

If you have any sort of bash or some one bashes into you how confident are you that all that will stay in place and connected? If it doesnt you are going to get soaked in fuel.

See what youre saying yeah. Only really the breather back to tank I'd say that fleet have much spare if it needed on it. I didn't run the pipes properly tight etc
