This is something Ive tussled over for years. No bike I've ever owned (in the old days, pre-crank gas recirc) had ever even come with anything but a ground vent. I've been through streams and creaks and have never sucked in any water. I may run a filter on the end just because..........
jb, I just changed my oil yesterday and it was slightly higher than the top measurement on the glass...and I'm pretty sure I had it between them. I was wondering if the kink in my OCS line was causing it NOT to evaporate off the gasoline???? It's the main reason I eliminated it all. Now I need to ride and check it.
Not to highjack but here's a pic.
