I've got a V700 and it keeps throwing oil out of the rear and onto the rear
wheel and tire.
I looked at it and noticed that the filler cap is a threaded brass nut with
a hole in the middle with a nipple for some kind of hose.
Is this a vent for these things? I suspect that the oil is coming out of
that hole but I don't want to plug it if it is a necessary vent.
I looked at some others, listed on ebay and the parts manual, and none of
them have vented fill plugs.
If I do need it, how do I stop it from spitting oil?
If I don't need it vented, anyone have a cheap fill plug for sale?
Thanks
-Rich
