Agree with above. Wouldn't worry about it too much at the moment and no need to keep taking off the oil filler cap... heat out, cool moist air being drawn in! These engines take about 10 miles to warm up properly, so if you're doing less than that to/from work, there's not much you can do other than buy a CG125 ____________________ Honda CG125>Suzuki GT185>Honda CB 250N>Suzuki GSX400>Honda CX500B>Kawasaki GPZ305> Kawasaki GPZ550>Kawasaki GPZ500S+BMW 650GS |

You can vent the oil filler cap by drilling a tiny (like 2mm) hole into it from the side then drilling another, slightly larger hole up from the inside (not al the way through) to meet it at 90 degrees. Seen it done on other bikes, not an ER5
Obviously, you risk water getting in too but it should be minimal, especially if you position the vent hole facing backwards. If it causes a problem with either water gettng in or oil mist getting out, simply melt the end of the hole shut again with a soldering iron.. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |
