sergioNMD Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Hi all, I have a 2019 Vertigo and for some reason I keep getting a lot of transmission oil from the breather hose to the airbox, and from there the oil drips everywhere, it gets pretty messy. I have heard from a Vertigo mechanic that the new Vertical R has a "oil catcher tank" inside the airbox so that the oil won't get all over the place, but in the Vertical R parts diagram I cannot find the drawing or the part number code.... Can anyone help me out? TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faussy Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Why not just loop the breather to behind the sump shield like every other bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergioNMD Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 That's the second option.... I'd have to remove the central gas tank and basically tear half bike apart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcrhino Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Page 21 of the parts book shows a breather box (number 27). That box is mounted inside the airbox on the left hand side. Would be good to investigate first why there is lots of oil in the airbox... Most likely reason would be that there is too much oil in the gearbox. But I assume that you are using the sight glass to check the level. I normally fill just under max level; leaving a small air gap in the sight glass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergioNMD Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I can't see the breather box you are talking about. Are you referring to the Vertical R 2019 part list? The Vertigo mechanic says it's normal to shed oil during extreme conditions, but still I would prefer not to get the bike so greasy.... The oil level is as you said, 375 ml which translates into roughly 3/4 up the sight glass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcrhino Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Check page 21 of the book (that is the page with the crankcases on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergioNMD Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Ok, found it. Thanks! V-1616 breather box How do you figure out how it's fitted inside the airbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcrhino Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 @sergioNMD; I followed the tube that is going from the crankcase to the airbox. Just remove the airbox cover and you will see the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergioNMD Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Yes, I see. The problem is that I don't have a Vertical R handy to disassembly at the moment, that's why I'm asking A picture would really sort me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcrhino Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 The breather box is on the left. And I know that the filter needs to be changed... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
