    Teza, get a length of hose same size as you have.Run it from the valve cover straight up and under the tank and up high along the frame then turn it back down towards the airbox and into it.Just a big long uphill loop really.
    If you drop it,the oil has to run uphill which will only be a little bit,then when you stand the bike back up it will run back into the engine.

    I had a similar problem with my KTM,on a extreme steep downhill some oil would run from the breather hose,as it ran from the valve cover straight down ,i did the above and fixed it instantly. I never have any oil in airbox.

    Welcome to OBT Tenrider,

    You have found exactly the right site for all things adventure riding and especially Teneres.

    There are plenty of rides going all the time and TB(Trailboss) knows the Tens inside out and also how to set them up extremely well.

    Good to see you are back on the bike after your incident with the Deer,i have had the same experience hitting a roo at speed.

    Keep an eye out for upcoming rides.

    Catch you on the trails sometime.

    Cheers Marty

    Liquid Intelligence all the way, and as TB said turn your bike off soon as you stop.

    Its amazing how many people leave it idling for long periods.

    Thermo fan also and wire in through a manual switch up on your bars. Do this because if the Thermo switch brings it on quite a lot when you turn engine off it will drain the battery eventually.
    Soon as you get into the tight stuff flick the switch on.Soon as you hit the fire trails turn it off.

    Cheers Marty

    Would have to be the Transmoto 12 Hour at Batemans Bay.Tough race indeed.
    Very close 2nd is our regular camping/riding weekends at Sunny Corner with Galey,Clarky,Kimbo.Greg,Mick,Tait.
    Bloody unreal weekends,with awesome trails,top mates,plenty of laughs and always a great fire to have a beer around and tell the yarns of the day.

    Bring on plenty more.

    Great choice Logan, it will feel very light and nimble compared to your DRZ.

    Ive got an 08 KTM 450 EXC and find its a brilliant bike with more than enough grunt.

    Enjoy the new ride.

    Catch you on the trails one day.

    Cheers Marty
