Like others have posted, I have some oil in my 2007 Breva 1100 airbox. My B1100 service manual does not mention this system at all except to say the "recovery tank" has to be removed before pulling the airbox.
I'd like to understand the how and why of this system- can anyone explain it?
I see two hoses going from this palstic tank to each cylinder head which I assume are pulling vacumn supplied by the airbox- but why is this needed? And what's that large hose going from the recovery tank to the left side of the engine? Is that pulling oil vapor from somewhere inside the crankcase?
Am I correct in assuming that oil vapor from all 3 sources is supposed to condense in this recovery tank and flow back to the oil pan from the bottom of the recovery tank?
