agility 50cc head breather issue
« on: April 20, 2014, 08:29:13 PM »
Hi all ima newbie  ;) ...
If any one could be kind to help I would be very grateful.
I have noticed the breather pipe which is attached to the engine head cover and runs along and stops near the air filter is spitting out fluid doesn't really have a smell but it does contain little black specks.
Any idea why fluid would be coming from there

Bike is a 2010 agility 50cc KG10SA

many thanks for everyones help in advance

More context may be helpful.

Engine oil brand and distance between changes?

Have you removed the valve cover to check valve clearance, and look for deficiencies?

Do you ride at wide-open-throttle?

Sorry bout lack of info it is

10w 40 castrol.
changes are every 500 miles due to town driving 3-5 miles a day.
Valves when top dead centre are 0.05 which is the lowest I have on my feeler gauges.
oil is on max on the dip stick
also bike slowly bogs out if not revved for a few mins when on idle

many thanks for replying much appreciated

It is usually condensed oil vapor, and water. Just remove the pipe, from the bike, and blow it thru w/ a bit of carb cleaner. It always accumulates, and has to be cleaned out.
It's easier to run a rubber hose from the top of the valve cover, and route it under the engine as a breather. That stops the condensing.
